Banana Pie (Torta de Banana)

I thought this was delicious. It was almost like a torte /crumb topping. I served it warm with (purchased) vanilla ice cream. About 10 minutes before serving I popped it in a 375 F degree oven for 10-15 minutes.

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 stick melted butter
  • 8 – 10 sliced bananas

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Coat a 9”x 13” glass pan with baking spray with flour.
  3. In a bowl mix ½ cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Reserve
  4. In a mixer mix flour, 2 cups of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, baking powder and butter until well mixed.
  5. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the glass pan.
  6. Add a layer of bananas to cover flour mixture and sprinkle half of the sugar/cinnamon mixture over bananas.
  7. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture and another layer of bananas.
  8. Sprinkle the other half of the sugar/cinnamon mixture over the bananas.
  9. Add the last 1/3 of the flour mixture.
  10. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. It can be served warm with ice cream or cold.

100% Whole Wheat Banana Bread

IMG_6886

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces butter
  • 3 3/4 ounces brown sugar, light or dark (I think 1/2 of this)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • * 1 pound bananas (before peeling, as weighed at the grocery store), peeled and cut into 1″ chunks
  • 3 ounces honey (I think 2/3 of this)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 8 ounces King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 ounces chopped walnuts, optional (didn’t add)

* I took a little over 1 pound of very over ripe bananas and let it defrost. Then I took the result and cooked it down on the stovetop until it was thick

The resulting banana bread was probably the best I’ve ever had. So banany, so moist absolutely delicious.
I didn’t add the optional nuts (didn’t need them)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ or 9″ x 5″ loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla, baking soda, salt, and bananas, beating until well combined. The mixture will be fairly smooth, with some scattered small chunks of banana.
  • Beat in the honey and eggs.
  • Add the flour, then the walnuts, stirring until smooth.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • Bake the bread for 50 minutes, then gently lay a piece of aluminum foil across the top, to prevent over-browning.
  • Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, then remove the bread from the oven; a long toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Allow the loaf to cool for 10 minutes; then remove it from the pan, and set it on a rack to cool completely.

Yield: 1 loaf, 16 to 18 servings. (King Arthur Recipe)
