Banana Bread

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ripe bananas (I always put any overripe bananas into the freezer for use in banana bread later)
  • 1/4 cup skim milk
  • 1 egg
  • cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg- to taste
  • A little oil or butter to grease the rice cooker pot
  • Optional: Walnuts, fruit, etc. to taste
Directions:
  1. Lightly grease the inside of the rice cooker pot and set aside.
  2. Mix everything together in a bowl.
  3. Pour the batter into the pot, set to 'Cake' and start the cooker. Cook for 60 mins.
  4. Test for doneness by inserting a butter knife into the top. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. Remove pot and invert onto a cooling rack.
Results:

It turned out to be a dense and tasty bread- very moist out of the cooker (perhaps slightly undercooked) I suspect, it would dry out quickly if we didn't just eat it right away! Being that it contains just a half cup added sugar and a single egg, you could even argue that this is a 'healthy' recipe.




Edit: 

Still moist and delicious the next day!
