How to Make Gift Of The Magi Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8x4x2 inch loaf pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup mashed ripe bananas, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup mandarin orange segments (drained), 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ cup sliced almonds, ½ cup chopped dried cherries, and ½ cup chopped pitted dates.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
- Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup sliced almonds over the tops of the loaves.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
