Banana cornbread may be something that you never tried yet, but I assure you that it is moist and a deliciously different recipe with just a little molasses and vanilla that compliment banana flavor. My recipe is also a great way to use those overly ripe bananas, which is always wonderful if you can’t eat them in time to avoid waste.
Reasons Why You Need to Taste This Fruity Cornbread
This cornbread is subtly sweet with a nice fruity element from the ripe bananas that also makes it extra moist and tender.
This recipe also is so easy to make. You don’t have creaming shortening or butter. Instead, I only use canola oil. In fact, you don’t need to bother pulling out your electric mixer. You can just use a fork to incorporate the ingredients before pouring into your well-greased pan that is approximately a 9-x 13″ baking pan or an 8″ square pan also will work. The most labor intensive part of baking this quick bread is mashing those ripe bananas with a fork.
This banana molasses cornbread also stays moist the next day, which is another reason you’ll love this thrifty recipe.
If you want to avoid using an egg and opt for a vegan banana cornbread, you can simply use a flax egg, which is a vegan egg substitute made from ground flax seeds and water. To make a flax egg, you just need to mix one tablespoon of ground flax seeds with three tablespoons of water, and let it sit for about 15 minutes until it becomes gel-like. Then, you can use it in your recipe as you would use a regular egg.
The next time you don’t know what to do with those aged bananas, I hope that you remember to print out my recipe for this sensational cornbread. If you do make it, please share the recipe with your family and friends.
