Tropical Banana Bread

I had some bananas at home that were going bad, and had just gotten mangos and pineapples at the farmer's market that day, so I decided to make my own tropical version of banana bread, as I couldn't find a recipe I liked online. My hubby is diabetic, so I ended up tweaking a basic recipe I had found online by halving the amount of butter it called for, and adding coconut sugar (and less of it) for regular white sugar. Didn't have raisins, so I used prunes and added extra fruit..figured if my hubby ate this recipe, it would not only increase his fruit intake, but keep him regular too! LOL...You could probably add nuts if desired, but I didn't have any on hand. Enjoy!!

Pour into greased and floured 1 1\2 quart loaf pan, and cook about an hour at 350°F, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and/or is golden brown. Will make about 8 to 10 big slices. If you like, you could probably make these in a muffin tin, also.

I usually double this recipe, making 1 loaf and 1 batch of muffins. The recipe is very versatile. You can add more banana if you'd like to increase the banana flavor. I have also made it with add-ins (choc. chips, dried cranberries, chopped walnuts). Stir in after flour. cmckay75 -

Try this recipe if you have a pair of left over bananas - those which are overly ripe and the skins have slightly darkened. The quantity is enough for a 20x10x5 pan. alfredsanpedro -
