| Prehat oven to 325. Prepare one large or 2 regular-sized loaf pans (I use glass) by spraying with PAM and flouring. Combine Bananas, Oleo, Sugar and Eggs in blender, blend on highest setting until foamy -- if your blender container is not large enough, do it in two batches (can also be done with handmixer in a large bowl). Add vanilla, stir in whole wheat flour and spices, mix white flour with Soda, Baking Powder and Salt, sift into dough and stir well. Pour into loaf pan and bake for about 1-1/2 hours for one large pan (knitting needle test may tell you it needs another 10-15 mins). If using 2 regular-sized pans, test after 1 hr. If using Walnuts: Either add them to the mixture in the blender and give them a couple or whirls so they're crushed, or crush them in a plastic bag with a rolling pin, then stir in the dough with the whole wheat flour. If using Raisins, stir them in with the white flour. I sometimes use both at the same time. NOTE 1: My large loaf pan is 7 x 12 inches (3 inches high). NOTE 2: Freeze Bananas when they get a little over-ripe, defrost before plopping into the blender. |
