Description

Josie and I can't eat wheat, so we're always trying to figure out how to get baked good-y goodness. So far, white spelt flour has been our salvation. This is a really good banana bread based on the recipe in Joy of Cooking.

Ingredients

4 very ripe bananas, mashed
10Tunsalted butter, room temperature
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 2⁄3csugar
2cwhite (or light) spelt flour
2⁄3cwhole spelt flour
1 1⁄2tsalt
1tbaking soda
1⁄2tbaking powder
1⁄2tcardamom
1⁄4tallspice
1⁄4tground pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°. Beat the sugar and butter together until light, about 2-3 minutes on high. Combine the dry ingredients well and beat into the butter/sugar mixture; it will look crumbly, like brown sugar. Beat the eggs in, and then add the bananas. Mix just until combined.

Grease either two standard (6-cup) loaf pans or one 9x9 baking pan. Spoon the batter in, smooth it down, bake it in the lower third of the oven for about an hour or so, until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let cool for ten minutes in the pan and then take out and cool on a rack.
