Fresh Milled Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 3 bananas
- 6 Tbsp melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 Cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp molasses
- 1/3 Cup milk (kefir or buttermilk also work)
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 220 Grams fresh milled soft white wheat (or literally anything else, spelt, kamut, einkorn, hard white, hard red)
- 1 Tsp baking soda
- 1/2 Tsp salt
- 1/2 Tsp cinnamon
- 2/3 Cup chocolate chips (you could use whatever mix in you prefer: pecans, walnuts, etc,)
Instructions
- preheat oven to 350*F
- Spray or spread butter in a bread loaf pan
- I use my stand mixer with balloon attachment to mash the banana, that way you just keep adding to it.
- Add mashed banana, butter and eggs to the bowl, mix.
- Add sugar, milk and vanilla, mix.
- Into your wheat grinding bowl (or a separate bowl add pre-ground flour), add baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and mix.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix to combine, no more.
- Fold in chocolate chips (or other mix ins)
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 55-65 mins. (Mine is usually done at 60 mins)
Notes
We have also used this recipe to make muffins and mini muffins- you would just bake for less time- like 20-25 I would say.
You can also swap out half the sugar for maple syrup or honey, I don’t because of cost of those ingredients. You would cut the molasses in half also, if you went this route.
