Banana Nut Bread

Ingredients

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, brought up to room temperature, plus extra for greasing.

1 cup sugar

2 or 3 very ripe bananas, coarsely mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)

3 large eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 cup Samish Bay Yogurt

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour, plus extra for flouring

1/4 cup flax seed meal

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts

To Create:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Grease and lightly flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.

Beat butter and sugar in a mixer until creamy (about one minute).  Add the eggs one at a time and then add the bananas and beat until smooth.  Add yogurt and beat just a few strokes.

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and nuts.  Add dry ingredients to butter & banana mixture and beat until just mixed and scrape the sides of the bowl.  Batter should be lumpy.

Pour batter into loaf pan (it should only be 2/3 full).  Bake for 55-60 minutes or until loaf is golden brown.  Let cool for five minutes before removing from loaf pan to cool.  Slice and spread with Samish Bay Vache.
