Best Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 3 medium very ripe bananas (the blacker the better)
• 1 cup (240 ml) sugar
• 3 tsp. (15 ml) baking soda
• dash salt
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) oil
• 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) flour
• 1 tsp. (5 ml) lemon juice plus milk to equal 1/2 cup (or 1/2 cup (120 ml) buttermilk)

Method

1. Using the steel blade in your food processor, process the bananas until pureed, 15 to 20 seconds. Measure 1 cup (240 ml) banana puree.add sugar, baking soda and salt; process for 30 seconds.
2. Add the eggs and oil and process until blended, about 10 seconds.
3. Pour the flour over, then add the sour milk or buttermilk. Process 8 to 10 seconds longer, until smooth.
4. Pour into a greased bread pan.
5. Bake on the middle rack in a preheated 275 degree F (135°C) oven for about 2 1/2 hours, or until the loaf tests done.

( The long baking time at a low temp is correct)

tip: Since this recipe is a such a long baking time, I double the recipe and make 2 loaves, they freeze very well, but I use my mixmaster instead of the processor
