Banana Bread Recipe

OMFG, I freakin' love banana bread! Thanks for the recipe! Yummy, yummy, yummy, I got something for tummy!

Ha! Many times I forget to eat my bananas and instead throw it away, go for a banana bread! It is delicious. However be moderate as it can give; if eat in excess; a fast fermentation in your stomach and possibly a heart burn. Therefore be moderate!

Good to know. I always do everything in moderation (well almost everything, with the exception of self-adoration). HAHA.

That looks so good. I am going to bake it for my father when I get home next week. He has been sick and doesn't have much of an appetite, so he has been loosing a frightfull amount of weight. Soooo, I bet this will get his appetite going!

Thanks!

Thank-you stopnoise for the recipe. It's one of my favorite.I use applesauce instead of yogurt;but,I would like to try this one too!

Apple Sauce! Great! I'll try next time! Thanks for the tip Cibalin!

Hey Queen, My best to your Father! I will sure Pray for his recuperation.

Looks like a great recipe thanks for thinking of me stopnoise!
It looks similar to the one we have in our family but we use sour cream instead of yoghurt..
Russian Jews I guess would do that...more common there. I will try to find it at a later date and include it in here as a variation. Also not that I am a Vegan I wonder if I could use the Toffuti yummy sour cream and maybe some kind of replacement for the egg..
getting me hungry even though I woke up with some kind of a virus..so back to bed for a while.

Carolyn, Toffuti Sour Cream? That is a great idea!

Fruit makes an excellent replacement for eggs - try bananas, apple puree or any high pectin content fruit. Usually 1/4 cup of banana will replace 1 egg.

Tofu is fabulous as a replacement, as it will take on the flavour of whatever you are cooking it with. As a general rule, 1/4 cup of tofu will replace 1 egg. Whip or beat it before adding it to the recipe.

This week we had Friends sleeping over and others for dinner. Ha! I am in the same situation as yours! I love kids but they always bring some different types of cold virus with them. This one here is a knock out! Normally I do not take any medicine or pills, just plenty of liquids, rest and good food.

Here is some replacements:

4. Put together 1 tbsp flaxseed (ground up) with 3 tablespoons of water to replace one egg. Make sure that the mixture has gelled before using it. Some people recommend simmering the two items together to thicken this mix.
5. For a replacement for just the egg white, mix 1 tbsp plain agar powder (available from health food stores/Chinese stores etc) with 1 tbsp water. Whip together, chill it and then whip it again.
6. Another egg replacement is 2 tbsp water mixed with 1 tbsp of oil and 2 tspn of baking powder. Mix together well before adding.
7. In savory recipes, such as a vegetarian loaf, try binding agents like mashed potato, tomato paste or rolled oats. These agents help to thicken and gel with the other ingredients. Also bread crumbs, cornmeal/flour, arrowroot and whole-wheat flour are good substitutions.
8. Apple sauce, canned pumpkin, mashed canned fruit of choice - all of these can be used as an egg replacement in baked goods. These will leave their own flavour of course, so be sure of the taste you want. Fruit can make the baked item heavier, so add a little baking powder if this concerns you. Try the blends of peach/apple; strawberry/apple etc for delicious muffins.
9. It is possible to make pancakes without eggs. In fact, any flat baked product that requires only 1 - 2 eggs can usually survive without an egg with no problems. The main thing is to substitute a little extra liquid ( 1 - 2 tbsp) to make up for the egg's removal. There are differing recipes (some just with flour, some with fruit such as mashed banana), so it is best to use a search engine to find a recipe you like. They do work, so try them out, just be sure the pan they are fried in is seasoned as you would with normal pancakes.
10. An egg sandwich? Yes! You can use tofu - use a search engine or a tofu/vegetarian cookbook for suggested recipes. It still tastes good, and curried tofu-egg sandwiches are a must.

Tips

* The best thing to do is to try out different types of egg replacements on your favorite recipes until you find the one that suits you best for each recipe. There are no hard and fast rules. However, it is most unlikely that you will ever successfully make a sponge cake without eggs!

Got the suggestions thanks!

Hey Carolyn and Cibalin, Thanks for your suggestions making this banana bread a little more vegan and health!

Lol, I'm a vegan, too. I have tons of veganized classic recipes.

Interesting that right now we got 43 viewers and 34% out of 66% negative voting. Who would vote negative in an attempt to save our lost bananas?

LOL! It Looks like we have a "Phantom of the Opera" hanging around us.

I'm with you stopnoise. Keep these pieces coming. I think most people like your stuff, sometimes though people only click Don't Like or don't click at all. I mean come on, who doesn't like Banana Bread?!

I know! Actually I found that funny that people would go as far as to prevent us from saving our over ripe bananas. He, He, He! How crazy is that?
Thanks for your comment Aroc! I do have more stuff coming but the Muni Public Transportation really keep me busy with their noisy arrogance! I cannot record anything during the day without having that "beep beep or that funny funk voice" in the background. I have to wait for the PM time to do it!
