Clay found this idea on his outdoor trader forum and decided to give it a try this weekend. Eric came down to hang out and they got to work making it happen.
I was trying to stay out of the way I just was the waitress bringing things in and out of the kitchen.
I love the way a house looks so cozy and welcoming at night with the lights on inside!
Initially it had a hard time getting going but after it started they were good to go.
Lily was in charge of supervising the menfolk while they worked.
I made 2 loaves today, the one on the left is banana, apple, cinnamon, pecan and the one on the right is banana, pear, cardamom, and almond.
I liked the pear one better. The recipes are as follows and the baking/mixing instructions are the same for both and listed at the bottom:
Apple Cinnamon Bread
DRY
1.5 cups sifted all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1tbsp cinnamon
1/4-1/2 cup pecans
WET
2.5 very ripe bananas smashed
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup coconut oil
2 eggs
1 apple finely chopped
Pear Cardamom Bread
DRY
1.5 cups sifted all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1tbsp cardamom
1tsp cinnamon
1/4-1/2 cup slivered almonds
WET
2.5 very ripe bananas smashed
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup coconut oil
2 eggs
1 ripe pear finely chopped
Combine wet and dry ingredients separately in different bowls, add dry to wet ingredients slowly mixing in. Then pour into greased (or pam sprayed) 9 inch bread loaf pans. Cook at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes until firm.
