My last banana bread post was based on a whole lotta estimates, so I fixed up a batch and took care with the measurements so I could share them with you all (five or so readers). By the way, anyone notice how efficient the Akismet plugin is on Word Press. So efficient that my statistics dropped to almost nil while Akismet so studiously blocks spammers. I don’t really want a bunch of spam traffic, but wouldn’t it be nice to have some traffic. Perhaps I should post more. Or go back to Blogger and live with a false sense of traffic.
Well, here it is, my better tested banana bread recipe, which could also be considered muffins because it’s easier to dehydrate them in small mounds opposed to a flat bread style. Don’t let the dehydrator scare you, if you don’t have one, try them in the oven at the lowest setting and open the door a crack. Better even if your oven is convection. Best with a dehydrator, or like mine, I have a dehydrator setting on the oven. Just plan for about 24-36 hours to dehydrate.

This is what I have been looking for! Every other raw banana bread recipe is made to be some sort of cracker or bar type thing. I was about to throw caution to the wind and start throwing things together on my own…but using this as a guideline will be so helpful! Beautiful picture.
I hope it works for you. Let me know how it turns out
