Day 68 - Banana and Ginger Loaf

YAY! There was no vomiting or diarrhea in our house today!!!!!!!! Yes, in this situation I think my excessive overuse of exclamation points is completely and utterly deserved. It has been a really, really long week and it has been really hard watching our little Diva feeling so miserable. She was definitely feeling better today thought, and it was so great to see her appetite come back. She has lost some weight so I intend to feed her lots of healthy fattening foods in the next few days. Stay tuned for recipe updates!

So I finally got around to making the banana bread today and here is the recipe I used:

Ingredients:
125g margarine or butter
250ml white sugar
125ml brown sugar
10ml syrup
4 ripe bananas mashed
2 eggs
625ml self-raising flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
5ml ground nutmeg
5-10ml ground ginger
5ml vanilla essence
30ml milk
125ml chopped walnuts (I omitted these)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two loaf pans with margarine. Cream together butter, sugar, and syrup until light and fluffy. Add the mashed banana and eggs and beat well. Fold in the dry ingredients. Mix in the milk and vanilla essence. if you're using them - mix in the walnuts. Spoon into the bread pans and bake for approximately 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the center. Slice, butter if desired and ENJOY!

Till next time happy baking and cooking :D
