Huckleberry Cafes Banana Poppy Seed Loaf Recipes

HUCKLEBERRY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and then add milk, vanilla and oil. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients. Try not to over mix.
• Fold in huckleberries.

BANANA POPPY SEED QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Mash bananas with a potato masher until all large pieces are broken down (or you can use a blender and puree the bananas) - you should receive about 1 cup of banana total. If not, then add enough banana to equal one cup.
• Cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
• Beat in eggs and grated lemon peel until blended.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
• Beat the bananas into the wet ingredients alternately with the dry ingredients -- repeating twice ending with dry ingredients.
• Hand stir in the poppy seeds.
• Pour into a well-greased (or sprayed) 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• Bake at 350* F for 50-60 minutes until pick inserted in center comes out clean. (The original recipe called for 60-70 minutes but mine is usually done before 60 minutes).
• Cool in pan for 10-15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to completely cool.
