Was anyone else's mom on eternal Weight Watcher's growing up? Well mine WAS! This is a recipe that she created and then I added Chocolate Chips & Pecans to it. It is semi-healthy and still moist & yummy!
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups of Mashed Bananas * approx. 6 Large Bananas
(Let them set out a week and get brown, they taste sweeter PROMISE!)
2 1/2 cups of flour
(Sometimes I use 1/2 whole wheat flour & 1/2 white flour) Using all white flour obviously tastes better...
1 cup Sugar, could be decreased to 3/4 cup if you like
4 Tsp Baking Powder
2 Tsp salt
2 1/2 Tablespoons of Vegetable/Corn/ or Sunflower Oil
1 Cup Non-fat milk ( Or use whole milk or buttermilk YUMMMY)!
1 Large Egg
1 Tsp Cinnamon
3/4 Cup of Pecan Pieces (Or walnuts if you prefer)
1/2 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate chips
Directions:
Turn your oven onto 350 degrees
GREASE & Lightly Flour 2 Bread Baking Pans, or 2 8x8 Square Pans
1. Mix or Mash your Bananas & set to the side.
2. Mix together Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder, & Salt until combined, 15 seconds or so.
3. Add Oil, Milk, Egg, & Cinnamon with your mixer or beater starting off slowly and then turning up to high to blend well about a minute.
4. Add in Pecan Pieces & Chocolate Chips, mix well another 25 seconds or so.
5. Pour into 2 baking pans, & Bake for 30 minutes, check to see if top has cracked open & the sides have pulled away, or a knife inserted through the middle comes out clean.
6. Cook longer if necessary, I have learned over living in several places that not all ovens cook evenly or similarly.
7. After they are done, take out of oven & set aside for 10 minutes.
8. After 10 minutes take a table knife and be sure to swipe the sides of the pans to make sure no sticking has ocurred and then pop bread out onto drying rack until you are ready to eat it or package it up for a gift! It makes 2 loafs so you could keep one for your self & give the other away or freeze the other one until your next big Breakfast.
9. ENJOY! It goes great with a big glass of milk!
