Cinnamon Apple Banana Bread

I just made this today.  I tasted it so I could tell you how it was, even though I’m not supposed to eat wheat. It’s sooooo good! I’m definitely going to have to make a gluten free version!

 

Linda's Lunacy Cinnamon Apple Banana Bread

 

 

CINNAMON APPLE BANANA BREAD

 

1 cup sugar
1/2 butter, softened
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

3 very ripe bananas
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups flour
2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped.

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 2 bread pans.

In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter together. Add egg and vanilla, mix well. In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork, then add to the sugar mixture.

 

Linda's Lunacy

 

In a separate bowl, mix the baking soda & flour together. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture. Mix until all ingredients are moistened. Add chopped apples, stirring until they are incorporated into the batter.

Bake at 350 for one hour, covering the tops of the pans lightly with aluminum foil. Remove the foil, bake for 10 more minutes or until a toothpick  inserted in the bread comes out clean.

    I have never seen a recipe with both bananas and apples. This looks so good. I bookmarked it for apple season.:)

    Well, I read between the lines and was able to figure out what was supposed to happen and made two batches of this for the office and friends. Came out good and am making some more tonight to use up the bananas in the freezer. I have one apple left and then will sub in some shredded zucchini and nuts. Simple, easy and good.

    That’s a nice change of pace from the traditional banana bread. When apples are in season and we buy a bag I’m always looking for new ideas on how to use them.

    To some, bread is a classic comfort food. I personally can’t eat much bread because it gives me trouble. I get terribly bloated and full for the rest of the day. That’s after one slice.

    The bread looks a bit dark. I suppose it’s from the cinnamon. This would be good with a glaze or cream cheese frosting.

    I have little loaf pans (little bigger than muffin pan &loaf shaped) each little loaf enough for 2. I used these and just watched the timing to bake (took approximately 45min). I love these little loafs because they’re easy to freeze & even share. I did add nuts to 1/2 the mixture and they were even more delicious. Great with a cup of tea/coffee or even a glass of milk. REALLY GOOD warmed in the microwave for a few seconds.

    Hi Linda,
    I just wanted to let you know that ever since I have found this recipe it has been my go too. I use kinda the basics and make it my own. This is a great recipe to do that with.
    The first time I used the recipe I did exactly the way you said. Then after that I would make it different. I added raisins, chocolate chips, zucchini, and a number of other things. Thank you for this recipe.
