Sorghum Banana Bread

info

• About 55 minutes
• 8 servings

ingredients

• ½ cup (113 g) butter, softened (Substitute oil for vegan)
• 1 egg (50 g) (Use an extra banana or applesauce for vegan)
• ⅓ cup (79 ml) sorghum
• 3 medium bananas, mashed (about 350 g)
• 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup (94 g) bread flour
• ½ teaspoon (2 g) baking soda
• ½ teaspoon (3 g) salt
• ½ teaspoon (1 g) ground nutmeg

For Optional Topping

• ½ cup (60 g) chopped walnuts
• ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon (8 g) cinnamon

steps

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or bundt pan with oil or butter.
3. In a large bowl, mix the wet ingredients first (bananas, butter/oil, egg, and sorghum), followed by the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg). Once combined, pour into the prepared pan.
4. For an optional extra-sweet topping, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the batter.
5. Bake for 55 minutes in a loaf pan or 40 minutes in a bundt pan. Check doneness with a toothpick (or similar tool).

notes

• If using a bundt pan, reduce baking time to around 40 minutes.
• A toothpick or thin skewer should come out clean when the bread is done.
