BREAD, QUICK: Oat Bran Banana Bread
Submitted by beachdee on April 24, 2004 at 9:25 pm
Got the original recipe from Ener-G oat bran box but haven't been able to find it lately so don't know if they still make it. It had a different texture than Bob's Red Mill or Quakers. This is a really moist banana bread. When my husband's aged father was visiting and didn't have any appetite, I made him some of this and he liked it so well he went home with the recipe and declared he'd make it for himself.
1/4 cup melted butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs slightly beaten
3 large, ripe bananas, mashed (~1 cup)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup Ener-G oat bran (or whatever you have)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts of your choice
Preheat oven to 325F. Place the melted butter in a medium-large bowl. Add the sugar, slightly beaten eggs, and mashed banana and stir well.
Mix together the dry ingredients in a smaller bowl, then stir into the egg/banana mixture.
Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or three mini-pans. Put the batter in the pan(s) and bake for 1 hour (large pan) or about 35 minutes (mini-pans).
Remove from oven when tests done and let sit in pan for about 5 minutes, then remove and finish cooling on a rack.
