The flour can be your choice, if using an alternative flour, for best results, use only 1/3 in combination with regular flour or try gluten free flour. Sweet breads don't typically rise, so using a gluten free flour should work fine with whatever adjustments you're accustomed to making with your alternative flour. If you prefer you can substitute applesauce for the oil in the recipe.
Whey is used in this recipe. Whey is the liquid that rises to the top in yogurt, cottage cheese and sour cream and is also the liquid left over from making cheese. It helps make baked goods light, fluffy and moist. See links below for other ways to use the whey.
Yield: 2 --9 X 5 Loaves
Ingredients
⦁ 3/4 c. Oil
⦁ 4 eggs
⦁ 2 c. Coconut Palm Sugar (or combination of brown and white sugar)
⦁ 2-3 Leopard bananas, mashed (spotted skin)
⦁ 2 med Sweet potatoes cooked and peeled and chopped
⦁ pinch Salt
⦁ 4 1/2-5 C.. flour (white, wheat, or combination or part alternative flour)
⦁ 2 tsp Cinnamon OR pumpkin pie spice
⦁ 2/3 c. Whey (from cheese making or pour off yogurt, cottage cheese or sour cream)
Directions
Preheated 350 degree oven
1. Blend oil, eggs, whey, sugar, bananas and sweet potato, Puree in a blender or with an electric mixer on high or by hand. Add in flour, mix until well blended
2. Pour into 2 well greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 for approximately 1 hour
Optional:
Praline Topping
1. Heat 1/2 c. coconut sugar and 2 T. butter over medium heat till melted
2. (approximately 2 min); add in 1 c. chopped roasted pecans and remove from heat. Pour over bread while warm. (Per loaf) Note: Chopped nuts are optional.
Tip: Whey can be frozen to use at any time, so when it rises in cottage cheese, or other dairy goods, pour it off into a freezer safe container. Just allow it to thaw before using in baked goods or using it to marinate meats. If you've been pouring it down the drain, you're missing out on a lot of nutritional value. If you do not reserve it for baking, at least stir it back into your dairy goods to benefit from those nutrients and probiotics.
