Banana Bread
Before moving, I decided to reduce some of the pantry items we had lying around by doing some baking. It was my first attempt at banana bread. I used a recipe that was oil based rather than butter based because I didn't have any butter left at home. I didn't add the lemon rind, reduced the sugar to slightly over 1/2 cup and used a mixture of chocolate chips and walnuts. It didn't turn out perfect because I think I overmixed the batter causing the bread to be a little heavy. I tried the same recipe again in the new apartment, but I guess the loaf browned too quickly in the smaller oven, and I ended up with not so great banana bread again.
I think I am going to try a butter based banana bread next. Perhaps this recipe that came from Molly Wizenberg's book.
