The Pure Pantry Banana Bread Recipe

The city of Seattle was pretty much shut down today due to a snow storm and many offices, including mine, closed.  What better time to bake than on a snow day!  I had purchased The Pure Pantry all-purpose baking mix the other weekend and as luck would have it, I had exactly three ripe bananas in the house today to try the banana bread recipe on the packaging.


I spooned half the batter into a silicone baking loaf mold, a layer of chocolate chips (I like chocolate chips in my banana bread) and then the rest of the batter.  I baked it for 45 minutes, checked it then baked it for another 10 minutes as I thought it was still a bit too gooey.  Once it cooled, I sliced into the bread and immediately knew it was going to be a flaky bread.  I should have removed it at exactly 45 minutes.

My boyfriend walked into the kitchen just in time to taste test the bread.  He liked it so much that he had two slices.  It was flaky but the flavor overruled the inconvenience of picking up the crumbs.
