Banana Poppy Seed Quick Bread image

From a Dole pamphlet I've had sitting around since 1986! This is a nice twist on a standard banana bread or poppy seed bread. I love the light hint of lemon in the bread too with the lemon zest.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 bananas, extra ripe & peeled (see step one to receive 1 cup)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon peel, finely grated
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup poppy seed

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.
