Quick breads
A friend requested a recipe today, so I'll include it here, along with another favorite. These are both so easy and good. And they freeze well.
I have no idea where I got this recipe, but I've made it for weekend guests several times, and it always gets rave reviews.
Mix together:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
In a separate small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray. Layer batter & cinnamon mixture, alternating until both are gone. Swirl with a knife, making sure to get all the way to the bottom. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes, until a knife comes out clean.
Believe it or not, this is from those recipe cards that come in the mail to entice you to buy more recipes. "Current resident" included mailroom employees back in the day...
- 5 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (recipe calls for light, I use dark)
- 1 large egg
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (opt.)
Beat butter in large bowl at medium speed until light & fluffy. Add both sugars & beat well. Add egg, egg whites, & vanilla and blend well. Add banana and beat on high speed 30 sec.
In separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, & baking powder. Add to butter mixture alternating with cream. Add walnuts if desired and mix well.
Pour into sprayed loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour 15 minutes, until knife comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then remove to cool completely.
