Organic Heritage Grain Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease one bread loaf pan .
• Note: If milling your own Red Fife flour, be sure to bolt, or sift out, some of the bran. One run through a 30 mesh sifter is sufficient to remove enough bran for a smooth, yet hearty texture.
• Combine the softened butter, vanilla, and eggs in a small bowl and beat lightly.
• Add the mashed bananas to this mixture and combine throughly.
• In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients (aside from the optional ingredients).
• Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir to fully incorporate.
• Mix in optional ingredients at this time, should you wish to do so.
• Using a rubber spatula , scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Place the pan in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. Loosely cover the top of the banana bread with a piece of aluminum foil and allow to bake another 10-15 minutes.
• The banana bread is fully baked when a wooden skewer or a knife comes out clean after having been inserted into the center of the loaf.
• Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then place on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Slice and enjoy.
