There's nothing that makes me feel as warm inside as a hot loaf of yummy
BANANA BREAD.
I've been making the same recipe of banana bread my entire life. This recipe belonged to my great-great grandmother & was passed down through the generations to me. I was 5 years old when my great-great grandmother passed away & I still remember this bread being baked in her house. My grandmother taught it to me when I was 10 or 11 & the rest is history. (My poor mother is allergic to bananas so she never got the chance to make or eat this recipe.) This time, I made it with THRIVE ingredients to see how well it would work & it tasted great. I was surprised at how well the freeze dried bananas baked in this. YUM!
So here's the our family's famous Banana Bread:
(You can make this with non-THRIVE food too. The measurements are all the same & I use 3 brown, squishy bananas)
1/2 cup THRIVE Shortening Powder, prepared (1/8 cup water with 1/2 cup powder)
1 cup THRIVE White Sugar
2 THRIVE Eggs, prepared (2 Tablespoons egg powder with 4 Tablespoons water)
2 cups THRIVE White Flour
1 pinch of THRIVE Iodized Salt
1 teaspoon THRIVE Baking Soda
3 cups THRIVE Freeze Dried Bananas
1/2 cup of nuts (optional)
Rehydrate the bananas by soaking in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain well. Cream the prepared shortening & white sugar. Add eggs & beat until the mixture is smooth.
Add the rehydrated bananas & mash into the mixture. (I like to mash them up with my hands before I put them into the batter. I like pulpy bananas for this.)
Sift the flour, salt, & soda together & add it to the batter. Beat until smooth & creamy looking. Add nuts if desired.
Bake in a loaf pan at 350 degrees for 1 hour. It should be a beautiful brownish yellow color when it's all done.
I hope you enjoy it as much as our family has enjoyed it. And a special thank you to my Grandma Cherry, my Great-Grandma Lottie, & my Great-Great-Grandma Maudie! They were the masterminds that made me the cook I am today.
