Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Butter (unsalted)
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Eggs
  • 3 Bananas
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 Cup Flour Whole Wheat
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 TBL Vegetable shortening or butter
  • 4 ginger thins annas

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 365°
  • Melt butter on low temp/125°.
  • Using a mixer and separate bowl, whip butter into sugar together. Add vanilla and mix.
  • Add two eggs and mix until creamy.
  • Mash the bananas and add to mixture. Beat with mixer until it reaches a custard consistency. Add cinnamon.
  • In separate smaller bowl, mix together flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • Using a hand mixer, slowly combine the dry ingredients into the wet until batter consistency is reached and some stiffness forms.
  • Grease a loaf pan with butter or shortening.
  • Pour batter into loaf pan and spread evenly. Grind up 4 Anna’s Ginger thins and sprinkle on top. This gives it a delecatibky crumbly crust to juxtapose the thick and soft bread inside.
  • Bake for 60 mins or until a knife inserted in the thickest part of bread comes out clean. Lower the heat to 350°F if continuing to cook.
  • Take out of the oven and let cool for 10-15 mins. Enjoy with a glass of ice cold almond or golden milk!
