Title: Murdoch's Banana Bread with Maple Ricotta
Post by: Depome on November 27, 2009, 08:13:02 am
This recipe is adapted from Murdoch Books' 'A Common Sense Guide to Healthy Cooking". It is really quite cake-like, despite the title, and is absolutely MADE by a spread of maple ricotta over the top. I need a mouth-watering smilie!

1/3 cup (80 ml) strong coffee
2/3 cup (125 g ) soft brown sugar
3 ripe bananas
1 egg
1 egg white
50 g vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground cinnamon
120 g plain flour
250 g self-raising flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
200g low-fat ricotta
2 tbsp maple syrup
fresh fruit, to serve

Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius (gas mark 3). Prepare a 22 x 12 cm loaf tin.

In a small bowl, combine hot coffee and brown sugar, and stir to dissolve.

Add bananas to TMX and mash on speed 3 for 20 seconds.
Add to the bananas, the egg, egg white, vegetable oil and vanilla, and blend on speed 4 for 20 seconds.
Add flours, spices, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda and mix on speed 3 for 30 seconds. Scrape the mixture down from the sides, and mix for a further 30 seconds on speed 3.

Don't over-mix, just enough to combine. Pour mixture into prepared loaf tin and bake for around 50 minutes, until a skewer comes out without batter on it (condensation is fine).

Stand for 10 minutes before turning on to a wire rack to cool.

Serve for breakfast, spread with the ricotta and maple syrup combined, and a fresh berries :)

They must do. A friend gave me one called Egg when we first got chooks. Heaps of info about what happens to eggs as they age, and the benefits/drawbacks of this when cooking. Lots of really detailed info about making egg basics, such as poached, scrambled, omelet etc, plus mountains of great recipes for using up the surplus. I love this book, and A Commonsense Guide to Healthy Cooking (almost as much as this banana bread :p )
