1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
4 eggs

4 cups mashed ripe bananas(1/2 cup more or less than 4cups works)
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

RECIPE

--bring butter and eggs to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350f.
grease 2 9x5 loaf pans.

--Combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda

--cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, and mix well. Mix in part of the flour mixture, then part of the mashed bananas. Mix in remaining flour mixture and mashed bananas. Fold in chopped walnuts.

--Pour batter into greased loaf pans, spread batter evenly into the pans.

--Bake for one hour, until a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean.

--Let sit for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan. Enjoy warm, room temperature, or a toasted slice.

but but... this is banana cake. :( Not banana-nut-bread.

oh well, it's also delicious. :)

[NewYorkGardener]

It is banana nut bread because I Said So!

OK, just kidding.

There is not much difference, except that a cake is usually less dense and sometimes sweeter than a quick bread recipe.

I am salivating over here. Definitely going to do this. One question though, what music where you listening to? The woman singing, sounded nice.

[NewYorkGardener]

Hi !

The music was playing on a local Jazz station, WBGO 88.3 out of Newark NJ.

Sorry, I do not know who was singing.

ok so can i cut the fat w something besides butter? like half smartbalance spread?

and demerara sugar instead of white ok? i dont use white anymore

i would wanna use almonds instead of walnuts...acid base thing, yeah i am nuts =)

oh and i d/k what all purpose flour means, so equal parts organic whole wheat and unbleached white ok? i keep oat flour (among others) around too, just to mix things up

[NewYorkGardener]

Yes! I would substitute the butter with smart balance, or maybe 1/2 cup vegetable oil. I have not tried yet, but I know that applesauce is used as a fat substitute for baking. Demerara sounds like a great idea! The flavor would be enhanced, and you may get a certain amount of browning that is missing from no butter. All purpose is just a basic white flour. Experiment with the flour, possible that the only difference would be a more dense loaf with oat flour? Use any nuts

great clip .. keep it up thanks

[xiceman08x]

I have the exact same cutting board =D

[leftyla]

So... if I want to make one loaf I should just cut the amounts in half? OMG! I'm a math genuis! LOL Seriously, I"m gonna try this because you sound cute.
