Sorghum Banana Bread

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

  • Approximately 55 minutes for 8 servings
  • 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.
