Banana Bread

Cakes - Fruit - -

INGREDIENTS

Juice of 1 lemon
3 very ripe bananas
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Optional:
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup nuts, toasted sunflower seeds, or coconut

METHOD

Preheat oven to 375F/190C.

Mash bananas and mix them with lemon juice until they are smooth.

Cream margarine and sugar together and add the banana mix, stirring well.

In a seperate bowl stir together the dry ingredients. Add to the banana mix and stir in the dates and nuts/seeds/coconut if desired.

The dough will be very stiff. Turn it into a greased loaf pan and bake for 30 to 45 minutes. To test for doneness, insert a knife into the loaf; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.

NOTES

Makes 1 loaf.
