1 cup un-bleached all-purpose flour (I always use un-bleached flour)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup sugar in the raw
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 applesauce or vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fruit puree (I used bananas, pears, and a tad of orange juice since it didn't quite make 2 cups)
1/2 cup yogurt (I used vanilla this time)
spray or butter to grease pan
- Preheat oven to 350
- Grease 1 9x5 inch loaf pan
- Mix together with a fork flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, & cinnamon
- I use my kitchen aid to cream the eggs and sugar
- Then add applesauce or oil and the vanilla mix well
- Mix in the fruit puree
- Add the flour mixture alternating with the yogurt, start and end with the flour (didn't think this would make a difference but it really does!)
- Be careful not to over mix after adding the last of the flour
- Pour into loaf pan sprinkle some cinnomon and sugar mix on top and bake about 1 hour
- Let rest 10 minutes and then turn out the loaf on a wire rack to cool.
I've made this with peaches, pears, cauliflower, blueberries, and strawberries (with seeds strained out) mix it up but I always use at least 1/4 cup of banana. Change the yogurt to any flavor! This recipe I use in a combination between 4 or 5 others I have tried in the past! This bread also freezes well wrap in parchment paper then place in a freezer bag up to 3 months. I always double my batch and make two loaves with 6 of us it goes fast!
Happy Eating,
