- VariationsThe following fruits may be used in place of banana:
- Pineapple Bread - Simmer fresh pineapple puree 10 min. Substitute 2 c. of puree in place of bananas and proceed as above. (Save the remaining pineapple puree to use as "jam on the bread.)
- Applesauce Bread - Substitute 2 c. of Applesauce (preferably homemade).
- Pear Bread - Use 2 c. of minced, ripe pears.
- Mystery Bread - Blend fresh, sweet green seedless grapes to make 2 c. of puree.
- Guar gum helps trap carbon dioxide, producing bread with a slightly lighter texture. It doesn't affect the flavor.
