I love pumpkin bread. I love banana bread. I do not like pumpkin banana bread!
At least not the recipe that I made it with. I can't find where it was pinned, but since I'm not going to make it again, who cares!
I thought it looked good going in, but I will admit that when I tasted the batter I didn't like it. I know I shouldn't taste raw batter - eggs - but just can't stop myself!
When I first took it out of the oven, it looked pretty good. I let it cool and when I went back to it, it had sunken in. Should have known then.
*My take on the bread? I thought I was being healthy by using mainly whole wheat flour and substituting Splenda for sugar, but maybe that's where I went wrong. It was very dense and disappointing.
*Others take on the bread? Garrett said it reminded him of french toast, Griffin and Nathan wouldn't try it, and DH said it was like a brick - uh, that's not good.
*Would I make it again? No! At least not this recipe. But I think I'll stick to my own banana bread recipe and keep making other pumpkin goodies.
More baking to come...
What a shame. I recently found joyofbaking.com. I have baked several of her recipes and found then to be very good.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the videos that go with the recipes.
Every time I've baked with wheat flour, the recipes call for honey instead of sugar, and I *thought* that you were supposed to use honey with WW flour. Maybe try it one more time with honey instead of splenda or sugar? Just a thought....
ReplyDeletePumpkin bread is my favorite, but I may have to try the pumpkin/banana one, too!!
