Cara Key's banana bread:
4T + 1/2 t vinegar or lemon juice (mix and set aside and add last)
1C mashed bananas
1/2C oil (or butter)
1/2C sugar
2 eggs
1t vanilla
11/2 cups of flour
1t baking soda
1t baking powder
dash of salt
I just realized I initially forgot to add the baking directions! Oops! Mix all ingredients together and put in a greased loaf pan and bake at 350F for one hour, or until knife comes out clean.
So that's the original I worked off of and here's the changes:
1C pumpkin puree (about half a regular sized can) instead of bananas
1/2C of agave nectar instead of sugar (you could use honey as well)
and I subbed whole wheat flour for all the flour called for.
I also added pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon to it so it's more of a pumpkin spice bread. I just eyed it, but put in at least a teaspoon of both, but maybe more. I definitely need to add more the next time I make it. Also, I didn't do the full amt of sugar (agave) called for, and I should have. If you like it sweeter you can add more or if you don't want as much of a "wheaty" taste to your bread you could do 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 all-purpose flour. Just some thoughts. It was a big hit with Paul, and Lins, to answer your question, agave does great in baking!
Happy Baking!
Just thought I would throw in a pic of Quintin just cause he's cute. :)
