2774754831_518abff629_m Dutch oven Banana Nut BreadI like my Banana’s firm and perfectly yellow. I know, good luck! It’s the mushiness that makes me so ficky. Needs to be firm, sweet and tasty. If, as Banana’s always do, turns brown and soggy, you have only two options. Throw them away or make a Banana dish of some sort. My 1st and only choice is Banana Nut Bread (see, I have to stay away from any soggy, mushy food)! Banana cream pie, Banana custard and any Banana mush is going to gag me till I **** (you know what). OK enouth of the personals, let make some Banana Nut Bread in a Dutch oven.

 

Banana Nut Bread

 

2774758161_07e64dbfc4_m Dutch oven Banana Nut BreadIngredients:

2 ea  eggs

3 ea  ripe banana’s

1/2 cup melted butter

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

2775611902_3b5d49df1c_m Dutch oven Banana Nut Bread3/4 cup sugar 

1 tbsp honey

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 cup chopped pecans

 

2775611276_fbb48c052e_m Dutch oven Banana Nut BreadPreparation:

 

Mix everything except the banana’s and pecan’s. Mix till moist, then add your banana’s and pecans. Pour into a greased loaf pan.

Bake at 350 for 45 - 50 minutes

Test with a toothpick. If it comes out wet it needs more cooking time.

I used a 12″ Dutch oven with a trivet on the bottom to prevent burning.

2775610658_291de96f97_m Dutch oven Banana Nut BreadTo keep your Dutch oven at 350 you need to have 8 coals on the bottom and 16 colas on the top. They should last the entire cooking time. You want most of your heat comeing from the top.

Roatae your lid and pot in opposite direction a quarter turn every 10  - 15 minutes to prevent hot spots that will lead to a burn.

As always use you nose! And don’t peek!
