Comments on: Mark Bittman’s Banana Bread Recipe http://eastvillagekitchen.com/2008/11/25/mark-bittmans-banana-bread-recipe/ Slow food in a New York minute Wed, 25 Aug 2010 14:06:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Tricia http://eastvillagekitchen.com/2008/11/25/mark-bittmans-banana-bread-recipe/comment-page-1/#comment-3990 Tricia Tue, 22 Jun 2010 00:25:34 +0000 http://eastvillagekitchen.com/?p=266#comment-3990 A Perfect Ten! I've been making banana bread frequently of late (my boyfriend really likes it). I've tried Flour's famous banana bread (Food Network), Starbuck's recipe (Recipezaar), and a couple of others. They were all good, but this was a perfect 10. Everyone enjoyed the coconut addition. I couldn't find prepared unsweetened coconut, and boy did I look. But being from the Caribbean I know how to crack open a whole coconut and remove the flesh, then I had to grate it. A labor of love that is well worth the sacrifice. I highly recommend this recipe, and from this point forward I'm uncertain if there is another with which I will even bother. P.S: The first time I used all of the above ingredients; the second time, I substituted apple sauce and low-fat banana flavored yogurt (Stonyfield) for the butter and baked at 300 degrees until finished--longer than 1 hour.

I add almond flour to lots of stuff, especially pancakes. gives amazing flavor and substance. I was worried because I had frozen butter which I melted instead of creaming but it worked out just fine.

Maybe that's because I'm in the deep deep South!
