Christine, I made your banana bread recipe this morning. It's delicious! I like using a dish 11x7 instead of a loaf pan, and was done in about 36 minutes. Our youngest daughter and her boyfriend came over and it's about half gone already, lol.

I am making the banana bread this morning for something different. I have been doing my bran muffin recipe 4 days a week. I got this recipe years ago and have been using it since. You make this up and then store it in a Tupperware type sealed container in your fridge. It keeps for weeks in the fridge. I make them up fresh in the morning one or two person. You can make them for each person to their taste by adding fresh or frozen fruit or raisins, currents, etc. my favorite is raspberries. I put 3 or 4 in the middle of each. I put a scoop of batter then I add the raspberries then another scoop of batter. Bran muffins tend to be dry, these are very moist as you make them and eat them right away. The hard part with the shortages is finding the cereal. You will have to find a larger store like Walmart or Kroger, Safeway etc to find the Bran Buds and All Bran cereal. I hope you and your family enjoy these healthy muffins as much as I have over the years.
Bran Muffins
makes 2 dozen but I usually only make 2 to 4 at a time
Oven 425
cook time 25-27
1Cup All Bran cereal
2Cups Bran Buds Cereal
1Cup boiling water (zap for 4 min to boil the water)
Put the cereal in your mixing bowl and add the water. Mix in water and let it sit for 5 min to soften.
Add
2C Buttermilk
1 1/4 C sugar ( I have used stevia natural sugar sometimes)
1/2 C oil ( use any kind of oil you want to be healthy)
2 eggs (I have used egg beaters when eggs were not available)
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp soda
3 C flour
mix until blended store in Tupperware type container in the refrigerator for up to a month.
making muffins
spray cooking spray in the bottom of the muffin tin that you will use.
I put a scoop of batter in the bottom then add fresh or frozen fruit or raisins. Add another scoop of batter on top. If your fruit is frozen cook for 27 min
i hope you enjoy😎

Our youngest daughter and her boyfriend came over and it's about half gone already, lol. I'm so glad you liked it! It's a hit with my family. I've made the same recipe as mini-muffins for my daughter's school but I've never used anything but a loaf pan for an actual banana bread. I should try it in other pans and see how it turns out. |

It's very moist and not crusty on top like in a loaf pan. More like a dense cake. I made it again and added 1/2 C chopped pecans. Yum! |

Cranberry Jello Salad
1 12oz. bag cranberries
1 C sugar (or sugar substitute. I use Splenda.)
1 apple diced
1/2 C celery diced
1/4 C chopped nuts
1 6oz. box (or 2 3oz. boxes) jello (raspberry or strawberry--I use sugar free)
Grind (don't chop) cranberries. Mix in sugar and set aside.
Make jello. I use the speed set method on the box. Refrigerate so it starts to thicken.
Dice the apple and celery and chop the nuts.
When the jello has thickened, add all ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate over night.
I make this every Thanksgiving. People who usually don't like cranberries like this, lol.
