Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Texas Size Banana Bread Muffins (Vegan) (Laurel's Kitchen, slightly adapted) 3 very ripe bananas (1 cup mashed) Juice of 1 lemon 1/3 cup oil or butter ½ cup brown sugar 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour ½ tsp salt ½ tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda ½ cup wheat germ 1 cup toasted nuts, optional 1 cup chopped dates, optional Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mash bananas and mix them with lemon juice until smooth. Cream butter or oil and sugar together and add the banana mix, stirring well. Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix in wheat germ. Add to the banana mix and stir in the dates and nuts as desired. The dough will be pretty stiff. (It should not be crumbly; add water if it is.) Spoon the mixture into 6 greased Texas-sized muffin cups and bake for about 22 minutes. (You can also bake banana bread in an 8 " x 8 " pan for about ½ hour or in a 4 " x 8 " loaf pan for about 45 minutes, but I haven't tried this for years, so I can't confirm the time.) These are dense, hearty, not extremely sweet muffins (if you don't use the dates) that are a staple for me. I usually use 1 banana and ~ 1 cup of other fruit; then I freeze them. I like to take them traveling (on a plane or long car ride) along with a bunch of carrots or other crisp veggies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't add the nits or dates since I don't have any but it is nice to find a recipe that has whole wheat! Steph You snooze, you lose. Get messages ASAP with AutoCheck in the all-new Mail Beta.
