I finally wrote out this recipe this morning while I was making it. I start with a basic recipe, and then add a few things, but I never really measured or kept track. I sort of make it up on the fly. But here it is. Mine is currently baking in the oven and smells amazing already!
1/2 c (1 stick) butter, softened
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 bananas (over ripe but soft, not frozen)
1 1/2 c flour (white or wheat)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c quick oats
1/2 c bran
Cream butter and sugar together in large bowl. Add eggs one at a time and mix well after each. Add bananas one at a time and use a pastry cutter to chop them up. (Or you could chop them into slices first and add slices instead. Your choice.) Blend this wet mixture together pretty well, but leave some of the banana chunky. In separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet mixture and blend together. Pour into well greased 9x5 loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 mins. Lower temp to 325 and back another 30 mins. Test center of loaf with knife and if needed, lower temp to 300 and bake an additional 10 minutes. Voila!
Side note: This is not in any way shape or form the low fat or calorie version. Even I need a break from uber healthy now and then. ;)
