This quick-bread is not to sweet but full of fruit and wonderful right out of the over or the next day for breakfast. Smear it with butter or cream cheese or just lop of a piece on your way by.....any way you slice it-YUMMY!
The texture of this bread is light,almost like cake,but dense like bread. To keep this texture don't forget to use a whisk to mix the flour,soda and baking powder!
BANANNACRANNACOCONUT BREAD
In a small,deep bowl whisk together thoroughly:
1 1/3 cup of all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
In a large mixing bowl beat ON HIGH SPEED UNTIL LIGHTENED IN COLOR AND TEXTURE(2 TO 3 MINUTES)
5 1/3 tbl butter
2/3 cup sugar
beat in flour mixture until blended and the consistency of brown sugar. Gradually beat in 2 large eggs
2 over-ripe bananas
2 good handfuls of craisins](dried cranberries)
1 tsp coconut extract
1 handful sweetened shredded coconut
(optional) handful of chopped pecans
spread the batter in a well-grease (I use pam) bread tin and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean
cool on a wire rack
I have tried variations such as substituting raisins for craisins,walnuts etc...and at Christmas-time I have used fresh cranberries and Orange extract in lieu of craisins and coconut extract....Experiment with apples,cherries....go ahead-be brave!!! I have figured out that there is NO WAY you can screw this up!!!!
