Last week sometime I had a bunch of bananas "clock out" aka go brown
before I could eat em. I'm usually like "big woops" I can make
banana bread - yummy. But this time I was kind of short on time so I
skin em and put em in the frig.

Baked up some bread tonight - the nanners smelled okay not great but
hey nothing ventured eh - well the verdict is nope, I'm not eating it.
It is not outright bad - it just doesn't taste right.

Tomorrow I shall dig a modest hole in the yard and give the loaves a
proper burial. Compost eh.

I just put them in a bag and freeze them with skin on. When I'm ready to
use them, I run them under cold water and peel them.

reading this thred made me wonder if you have tried and really good
and moist banana bread/muffin recipes? (preferably without nuts) i
have tried so many from here or other sites but couldn't find one that
we really like. we are often give lots of banana and i'd like to use
them in baking instead of just eating them. thanks a lot

Here is the best banana bread recipe I've ever tried. I made it 4-25-04.
Another thing I like about it is that it uses 2 cups of bananas instead of
the paltry small amount used in most banana bread recipes. It is from
Master Cook, but I have added my two-bits worth. I didn't use the
butterscotch morsels, but substituted chocolate chips. I put ALL the nuts
inside the bread instead of saving some for the top, as it didn't indicate
how much to save for the top. I toasted the walnuts before I added them. I
used 1 cup sugar instead of 1-1/2 cup sugar. I was worried about the amount
of nutmeg that it called for, but the amount called for is just fine. I used
2 pans, buttered and very lightly floured and sprinkled cocoa on the bottom
of the pan before adding the ingredients. I baked in my oven for 60 minutes.

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup butter -- melted

hi dee,

thanks for the recipe. i am so happy to see one recipe that's telling
me the exact amount of banana (instead of how many medium or large
ones!) i am wondering, with that amount of nuts in the bread, is it
possible for me to omit it all as my family don't eat nuts and esp. i
have a small baby who likes banana bread and i don't want him to eat
nuts just yet. thanks. i have lots of banana (really ripen) on the
kitchen counter now and will like to make this ASAP.

also, is soft brown sugar ok?

thank you very much

Dear Jojoba,
My advice is to make this recipe for yourself and treat your baby to a nice
mashed up banana with no sugar, no chocolate, nor butter. I don't know the
answer to the nut question. Nuts are wonderful and healthy! But if you
don't like them, this is not the recipe for you. This is chalked full of
nuts, nuts, nuts!
Best of luck,
Dee

lol. thanks. my baby eats almost everything and anything (even hot
and spicy food.) however, when it comes to bananas and papayas, he is
rather picky. it's up to his mood. want to make a banana cake simply
because we have way too many (always given by a friend who grows
them.) and i think my baby may want to try some of the cake if i do
bake them. not only we don't like nuts but i also worry abotu
allergies and they are being too hard for a baby. but anyway, i keep
this recipe for reference since you don't think it's a good idea to
take away the nuts. thanks a lot.
