Directions
Gingerly Molasses Christmas Banana Bread, This is a quick, warmly-spiced banana bread that I invented for Christmas 2010 , I’m sorry but this bread disappointed me; it did smell good cooking in the oven though The ingredients intrigued me, particularly the molasses and the bananas The batter was dense and the resulting bread was dense and dry The cooking time is off as several have noted the edges being burnt I followed the directions exactly, except I combined all the dry ingredients and sifted them together (Like all recipes call for ) I would do two things First, used a 9 pan, I would use a 8 pan and pull it out after 45-50 minutes at 350F The author says he invented this bread I should have known the outcome was going to be disappointing as the recipe only calls for 2 tablespoons of butter and one tablespoon of oil Most other recipes call for more moisture in the form of butter, oil or apple sauce The other thing that surprises me is that the resulting bread is not sweet at all I think this is a result of all the allspice used This is only one loaf and it calls for a full teaspoon of allspice I will look for another recipe like this which calls for more wet ingredients One final thought: what is the smell of Christmas? I always thought it was the smell of pine??
