The recipe for the banana bread seen in J’s previous post<\/a> is from the Cook’s Illustrated cookbook (not sure what year, but it’s kinda old).<\/p>\n

Banana Bread<\/h4>\n

2 cups all-purpose flour<\/p>\n

3\/4 cup sugar<\/p>\n

3\/4 tsp baking soda<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp salt<\/p>\n

1 cup toasted, coarsely chopped walnuts<\/p>\n

3 very ripe, soft, darkly speckled large bananas, mashed well<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup plain yoghurt<\/p>\n

2 large eggs<\/p>\n

6 Tb butter, melted<\/p>\n

1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n

Mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, walnuts). Mix wet ingredients (banana, yoghurt, eggs, butter, vanilla). Mix wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Batter should be thick.<\/p>\n

Bake for ~55 min (knife inserted into center should come out clean) at 350\u00b0F in greased loaf pan.<\/p>\n

Modifications<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course there’s no way I would make a recipe straight.<\/p>\n

First of all, I only had one banana (found abandoned on top of a trash can!! There was another, but it was a little too far gone for me to want to carry back home. Later, though, I regretted not taking it!), so I thirded the recipe.<\/p>\n

We don’t keep all-purpose flour, so I replaced that with half whole wheat pastry flour and half oat bran (acquired for free on my local Freecycle<\/a>!). We don’t keep yoghurt (since it comes in non-returnable packaging), so I replaced that with (homemade) kefir.\u00a0I substituted chopped peanuts for the walnuts. And we don’t have a loaf pan, so I just used our Pyrex baking dish.<\/p>\n

I added maybe a tablespoon cocoa powder, maybe 1\/4-1\/3 cup chocolate chips, and some cinnamon.<\/p>\n

Because I thirded the recipe, I needed to reduce the baking time. I actually baked my banana bread for 25 min, but I don’t think it was completely done. But it’s still delicious!<\/p>\n

You should also feel free to make modifications to recipes to accommodate the ingredients and equipment you have on hand, your taste preferences, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
