Banana Loaf (Microwave) Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c. All purpose Flour Didn't sift it, since high Altitude requires a Little extra Flour)
- 1/4 c. Wheat germ
- 1/3 c. Best extra virgin olive oil
- 2/3 c. Sugar
- 1 c. Mashed banana pulp (2-1/2 Bananas)
- 1/2 tsp Grated orange rind (didn't have a lemon)
- 2 x Large eggs (egg substitute)
- 1/2 c. Broken pecan meats
- 8 x Apricots, cut into very Small Pcs The recipe actually Called for 1 1/2 c Of banana pulp, but I Made a Mistake, and it didn't Seem to Matter - the bread Definitely tasted More of banana than Anything else. So, I guess you can vary The banana Pulp, according to what's On hand.
Directions
- Since I didn't have a loaf pan except one for Microwave, I decided to cook this recipe which way. It was a mistake - a loaf pan cooks the bread at the ends, first, and the middle didn't begin to look done until I'd cooked it 11 min. Next time, use the glass ring pan. Prepare ingredients: grate orange rind and set aside, mash bananas, dice the apricots and chop the nutmeats. Blend the oil, sugar and rind till creamy, then beat in the egg substitute and banana pulp. With the mixer on slow, add in the baking pwdr, wheat germ and flour, then increase the speed to medium and beat the batter till smooth. Mix in the apricots and nutmeats. Spray the ring mold with canola oil spray. Scrape the batter into the mold and Microwave on high for 6 min (more if necessary). A toothpick inserted in the thickest part should come out clean. Turn out on a plate on a rack and cold before slicing.
