Here it is, my recipe for

I don't know why I still call it banana bread:

Makes 3 loaves....easy to divide or multiply....

lightly grease pans and heat oven to 325 degree F.

In a very large mixing bowl, combine thoroughly (beat, even!):
3 cups mashed very ripe bananas
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cups no fat sour cream
6 eggs

In a separate large mixing bowl, combine thoroughly:
2 1/4 cups unbleached flour
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
3 tsp baking powder
3 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp cloves
2 tbsp cinnamon

then add the fun stuff - I'm not good at measuring this stuff, tho...
to the dry bowl:
1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup flaxseeds
2 cups cashews
2 cups no sugar added chocolate chips

to the "wet" bowl:
2 cups raisins
2 cups frozen cranberries
2 cups frozen blueberries
1/3 cup crystalized ginger

or anything else you want (love the idea of dates - next time! yum!)

pour the flour bowl into the wet bowl and mix only until combined

bake in the 3 loaf pans for 1 hour 20 minutes or until the tester comes out clean (hard to do with all those goodies in there!)

cool in pan for 5 minutes before turning onto rack to cool completely.

I freeze them and we snack on these for about 2 weeks.

Merry baking everyone!!

Namaste,
