How to Make Another Banana Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground cloves.
  4. Set aside the dry ingredients.
  5. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup Splenda (or your preferred sugar substitute).
  6. Mash 3 ripe bananas and blend them into the creamed butter and Splenda mixture.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Level the tops with a knife or spatula.
  9. Bake for approximately 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 60 minutes.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
