Banana Bread
Yoke's cultured Khorasan (Kamut) Banana Bread
this recipe was created out of sheer frustration after I bought ($5/slice) and ate refrigerated slice of banana cake from a well known cafe in Perth. It was not a nice slice, I had a mouthful of baking soda on one bite and I didn't feel great afterwards...so here is one that I made to satiate my craving for banana bread...probaby cost less than $5 and it is organic to boot...
Ingredients
- 300 g Khorasan flour organic
- 1 tsp Bicarb soda
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 3 medium Bananas very ripe
- 4 Eggs Organic, free range
- 80 g Unsalted butter, uncultured Or oil if you prefer
- 200 mL Cultured cream/Sour cream/Kefir cream/Buttermilk/Kefir milk
- 150 g Activated pecan nuts optional
- 150 g Couverture choc cips optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170C
- Using your TM (turbo 3-4 times) or hand held mixer/food processor, mix well khorasan flour, bicarb soda, baking powder and sea salt - Leave aside
- Whizz in your TM bowl (speed 4, 1 min) or use a hand held mixer, food processor until well mixed - bananas, eggs and butter.
- Add cultured cream (or sour cream, kefir cream, buttermilk, or kefir milk)
- Add all of the flour mixture above Mix well but do not overmix or your bread will be tough, for TM use speed 4-5, 20-30sec only.
