Ratio of flour to sugar in banana nut bread.
Comments (9)Make sure your bananas are good and ripe if you reduce sugar in your recipe in order to compensate for the loss of sweetness from the sugar. I basically agree with the suggestions give by cloudy christine. I would have looked at your recipe and would have judged it as too sweet, too much liquid and not enough leavening... Banana bread science... Baking soda is commonly the chemical leavening in banana bread, and the banana the acid ingredient that activates it. As bananas ripen, their acidity decreases, so their reaction in partnership with the baking soda is a weak one. A good banana bread recipe ensures adequate leavening by using BOTH baking powder and baking soda. This will assure the banana bread doesn't get too heavy. Here's a tried and true recipe with even less sugar than you are wanting in your recipe, but more than enough sweetness. It's also wholegrain, low-fat and low-sodium for a nutritional plus. -Grainlady Banana-Poppy Seed Bread 1 c. mashed banana 1/2 c. sugar (I use 1/4-1/3 c. agave nectar - a low-glycemic sweetener.) 1/2 c. skim milk 3 T. vegetable oil 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 c. all-purpose flour (I use freshly-milled spelt flour) 1 c. whole wheat flour 2 T. poppy seeds (or whole amaranth seeds works well, too - you can leave the seeds out all together, if desired) 2 t. baking powder 1/2 t. baking soda 1/2 t. salt 1/2 t. cinnamon vegetable cooking spray Combine the bananas and sugar in a small bowl; stir well. Let stand 10-minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in milk, oil, and egg; set the mixture aside. Combine all-purpose flour and next 6 ingredients in a large bowl and stir well. Make a well in center of mixture; add banana mixture to dry ingredients, stirring until moistened (with a spoon, NOT an electric mixer - do not over-mix). Spoon into an 8-1/2x4-1/2x3-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray (a 9x5-inch pan is TOO large for this recipe). Bake in a 350°F pre-heated oven for 1 hour, or until a pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes before removing - finish cooling on a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf, 16 slices (about 125 calories per 1/2-inch slice). (Note: if you don't want a wholegrain version, use 2 cups all-purpose flour. I also add 2 T. flaxmeal to the recipe to increase the fiber. I often add walnuts (1/2 to 3/4 c.) to this recipe, but will omit the poppy seeds or amaranth seeds when I do.)...See MoreLOOKING for: Yeast, sugar and malt free bread

Comments (6)Annie, I started from the Tomato forum link and couldn't remember it was the Harvest forum I was looking for! I had to hit a bunch of posts to find one that went to Vegetables and then something else before I found the Harvest forum! The old way used to have links for sub-forums near the top of the page! I know we recently lost Carolyn Male from the Tomatoes forum, is everybody from Harvest still around? Artemis, thanks but I really have a "sweet tooth!" I lost my taste for dills, maybe because the subs & sandwiches I bought from Walmart the last 5 years had dill slices stuck to the roll that just drenched the bread. Ever since I even toss the slices to the dog, even from McD's & BK burgers. All I have to say is Picka-Picka-Picka-Picka-Pickles and she sits up on her butt with her front paws up in the air in the begging position!...See More- 2 years ago
