what-to-make-when-it's-raining-and-you-want-to-bake-but-know-you-shouldn't-make-cookies, bread

that's what I'll call it.

I think it's of the banana bread variety, but it's whole wheat, and has carrots and some other silly things in it.

Banana (and then some) Bread

1 stick butter (1/2c)

1/2 c sugar

1-2TBS honey

2 eggs

3-4 very ripe bananas

2 large carrots, shredded

1/2 c milk

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/2c whole wheat flour

1/2 c whole oats (not instant)

1/4 c ground flax seed

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

in separate bowl mix together flour, oats, flax, baking soda, and salt, set aside.

mix butter, sugar and honey.

add eggs, one at a time until mixed in.

add vanilla, bananas, carrots, and milk until well mixed.

slowly add in flour mixture, mix just until blended.

spoon batter into greased 9" loaf pan

sprinkle top with chopped pecans and oats

place on bottom rack in oven and bake at 350° 75-90 minutes (if the top starts to get too brown, cover with foil)

and if you're feeling really ambitious, you should make some butter too.....mmm....butter.

be happy that you baked something semi-healthy, and not cookies......wink
