Weekly Recipe: Blackberry Banana Bread
Blackberry Banana Bread
1 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
2 tbsps lemon juice
1 tbsp grated lemon rind
3/4 cup blackberries
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan. Sift together: flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add oats, oil, eggs, bananas, lemon juice and rind. Gently mix until just moistened and carefully fold in blackberries. Pour in pan and bake for 1 hr. Cool in pan before turning out onto wire rack.
As yummy as this will smell, and as tempting as it will be to eat it right away, it's actually better if it's allowed to sit for a while. The original recipe said to chill it, which you might want to do if it's a warm day.
*Note: You can easily substitute any berry, like blueberries, fresh or frozen. I used frozen blackberries and thawed them slightly. I then gave them a gentle rinse so they wouldn't turn my batter purple.
I was also out of oats(gasp!) and so I used a combination of oat bran and wheat germ and it turned out fine.
