CORNMEAL BANANA BREAD (HEALTHIER)



Cornmeal Banana Bread (Healthier) image

The inspiration for this lovely and kinda healthy banana bread comes from the blog http://www.familyfreshcooking.com/2011/01/13/banana-almond-snack-cake-recipe/. I like the use of cornmeal as it gives the bread a heartier texture. This is more of a bread than a cake, so keep that in mind if youre looking for a cake more than a bread. Please note: I like my banana breads without added sugar, but feel free to add 1/4 c or so if you like your breads sweeter.

Time 55m

Yield 1 9X15 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup whole wheat flour (I used whole spelt flour)
1/2 cup coarse ground cornmeal
1/2 cup oat flour
1/4 cup oats, large flake
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 pinch salt
1 cup banana, peeled and melted in the microwave (about 4 minutes at full power in my microwave)
1/4 cup almond butter (I made my own from roasted almonds)
1 large egg, whisked at room temperature
1 cup soymilk or 1 cup other non-dairy milk substitute
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • First melt your bananas in the microwave if you have not already done so. Set aside to cool to room temperature (this is important because otherwise your egg might curdle later on).
  • Then combine flour, cornmeal, oat flour, oats, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a large bowl.
  • In a second bowl combine bananas, almond butter, egg, milk and almond extract and mix well.
  • Combine dry and wet ingredients and mix until just combined. The dough should be rather thick, but not dry. If needed add a splash more milk or two.
  • Pour batter into a prepared loaf pan and bake in the pre-heated oven at 180 C/350 F for 35-40 minutes.
  • Remove to a wire rack to cool completely and enjoy!

BANANA CORNBREAD

Having vegan friends in college forced me to find some recipes that are friendly to their choice if I wanted to entertain. This recipe is delicious whether or not you are vegan. I've made it with almond, rice, soy, and regular milk and they are all very similar to identical in flavor and consistency.

This recipe was really yummy to start with but I was looking for something a little healthier so I replaced some butter with non-fat yogurt and I eliminated the salt. It is super moist and tastes great.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into butter mixture before adding the next. Stir in mashed bananas until well blended. Pour banana mixture to flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Transfer batter into prepared loaf pan.
