Trying the 2 Lb loaf I’ll let you know how it turns out. I think one of my boys was born with a piece of bread in his mouth so he’ll give me the straight in it. I’m learning with the machine I have — nothing like a little construction work. thanks for sharing the recipe. Appreciate it.
Worked very well. Thanks
Worked very well. Thanks. Needed a little more salt for the 2 lb. recipe.
Made the 2# loaf.
Switched whole wheat and bread flour amounts.
added 1/2t.yeast and cinnamon.
Added 2t. Gluten.
Brushed top with milk and sprinkled cardamom and cinnamon sugar.
Excellent results!! Will make again.
Also added 1/4t. Salt
Thanks for sharing the substitutions you made. I love the idea of adding cinnamon in the batter and sprinkling cardamom and cinnamon on top. Yum!
I made the recipe with a few changes – I used 100% whole wheat flour, ( 4 c.)so increased frozen banana to 1 3/4 cups (which allowed me to use more frozen bananas up; the whole reason I made this recipe :)) I omitted the sugar, and did add raisins. It came out very well – slight sink in the middle, but good taste.
I baked it on whole wheat setting, instead of white yeast bread setting.
I will make this again! It is not as sweet and cakey as some might prefer, but in case others may want to try a whole wheat version, thought I’d share my experiment.
Thank you for sharing your 100% whole wheat version of this banana bread. Your changes sound good.
