Taking a little break from making hats (since I'm up to my eyeballs in them right now) and working on some selfish projects and our SnB's traveling scarf project. I need to find a crochet stitch that matches the one scarf's K2P2 pattern... have some thoughts, but am still playing with it. Kinda frustrating, really.
While I was at Inside the Cherry Cupboard on Tuesday, I started working on Doris Chan's Fan and Petal Neck Lace using Aunt Lydia's bamboo crochet thread. I think it's going to be my Tuesday/Thursday project until it's finished. Not sure what, exactly, I'll wear it with when it's done, but I really love the way it's turning out.
Today I worked on perfecting my banana bread recipe, among other things. Try it out and tell me what you think!
Banana-Chip Bread
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup organic cane sugar
2 eggs from my friend Bea's chickens
3 overly ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups organic wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup Seven Stars organic whole milk yogurt
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/4 cup small cacao nibs
1/2 cup oats
Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease four small loaf tins with canola oil spray.
2) In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and eggs. Stir in bananas and vanilla. Sift in flour and baking soda; mix well. Blend in yogurt, chocolate chips, cacao nibs, and oats. Pour batter into prepared tins.
3) Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of loaves comes out clean. Cool on wire rack before removing from pans. Enjoy!

Ooooo!!!! I cannot wait to try this recipe. I have been looking for a babana-choc chip bread recipe. I just need to get a small loaf pan & cut the recip B/C I am the only one in the house that will eat it. :(
ReplyDeleteI make four mini loaves from it and give some away. It freezes well, too. Also, you can cut out the cacao nibs if you can't find them and add nuts instead if you'd like.
