It is still in the hundreds here in Phoenix, but I am so ready for Fall to get here that I actually turned on my oven WAY earlier than I usually do. I got the idea to make this banana bread with maple syrup instead of refined sugar, plus use up some buttermilk that I had in my fridge. The resulting quick bread is just perfect for Fall and will be a great loaf to share with friends and family. I just posted about these No-Sew Bread Cozies and promised you this recipe. So now, if you make the cozies, you can make a new bread recipe to put in them as gifts or simply serve your bread in on your table! The only sweetener is the maple syrup! Lower glycemic than sugar and with more vitamins and minerals, you can call this bread healthy! If you love maple flavor, you will love this bread. I used a little maple extract to enhance the maple flavor, but you can leave it out or use less or more, the flavor is up to you. Truth be told, real maple syrup is pricey, so if you have a hankering for this bread and you don't care about using sugar, (or corn syrup actually), Mrs. Butterworth will work just fine in this recipe. So, you have that option. Whether you use real maple syrup, or imitation, that maple flavor goes just great with the bananas in this bread.  Banana Maple Buttermilk Bread is moist, rises very beautifully and makes a big loaf. As a matter of fact, I made one 9 x 5 inch loaf, plus 2 mini loaves in this pan, from this recipe. This is a perfect way to have a loaf for your family and to gift some little ones to friends. The banana/maple combo with the tang of the buttermilk does make this loaf feel special, so it makes a nice gift. I baked the mini loaves for about 30 minutes. So, adjust your time according to what size pan you use. This bread makes a great breakfast, or is delicious as a snack. I love to smear butter all over it! I think you will like it as well. Here is the recipe!  Other breads that you may love:

I've been in the mood for some fabric crafting and sewing. Plus, I've been doing some bread baking. I often give loafs of bread away when I make an abundance and that made me think of this post when I showed you how to make a bread cozy to use when gifting bread. But, I had just had a conversation with a friend about how many people there are out there that do not know how to sew! I thought it might be fun to come up with a no-sew version of the bread cozy. So, I did and I'm really happy with the way it turned out!

Thank you for your support.  A few days ago I shared a recipe with you that used dried apples, not reconstituted. It was a fabulous recipe for Dried Apple Oatmeal Cookies. I mentioned in that post that sometimes you reconstitute apples to use them when baking and sometimes you don't have to. A few people have asked me about how to reconstitute them, so I thought I would share the simple process with you, plus give you a recipe for Apple Crisp using dried apples as well. (I think I also mentioned that in the cookie post.)

Thank you for your support.  Last Spring, I told you about my new centrifugal juicer on this post. I have been using it more and more and loving it! Lately, with all of the canning I've been doing, I've used it to finish off the last bits of fruit to make peach nectar and apple juice. I have to tell you that fresh pressed apple juice is fantastic. The only problem is that the small amount of solids that do make it into the juice, form a strange looking foam on the top of the container. I skimmed some of it off, but it was impossible to get it all. Then, I started straining the juice through a flour sack towel and that helped quite a bit, but there was still a little foam left. The juice tastes so good that we don't mind the foam, but I wanted to give you a heads up! May son and daughter-in-law on the other had use a steam juicer and they had no foam on their apple juice. So, I may have to look into one of those for canning apple juice. The apples I have been canning lately are from said son and daughter-in-law's fuji apple tree. After my first attempt at juicing apples, I asked them about the foam problem. They informed me then that they had no foam AND that they used the pulp from their juicing to make applesauce! |
