I totally thought Mia would love this recipe because she eats so many bananas she’s turning into a monkey but she wont even look at it. Oh well. I wouldn’t put it up here but come to find our neighbor’s baby loves it.

Banana and Golden Raisin Bread · no sugar added

you will need:

1 cup white whole wheat flour (or 1/2 cup white flour and 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour)

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup butter

1/4 tsp of each fresh nutmeg and cinamon (optional)

2 ripe bananas

1/3 cup organic golden raisins (raisins are on the “dirty dozen” list of foods. try to buy organic)

1/3 cup organic applesauce

1 beaten egg

Preheat oven to 350°.

Butter and flour a bread pan.

Mash bananas with a fork. Set aside.

In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and spices. Cut in butter.

Into flour mixture, stir in egg, raisins (if baby is not ready for large pieces of raisins try chopping or put in food processor for a few quick pulses), and bananas. Stir until just mixed.

Pace mixture into bread pan. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Cut into squares for easy eating and storage. Of course your baby will probably not eat an entire loaf before it spoils. To store place cubes in freezer bags and freeze. Use with in 3 months. Remember, if your baby doesn’t like it you can always give it to the neighbors baby.

Tip: For added texture for baby or toddler, try putting the cubed bread back into the oven at 350° for additional 10 to 2o minutes.
