Banana Bread with Ginger

Today our friend Aaron came over, and he had a big bag of bananas that weren't doing too well and also some ginger to use up (he's the friend who I made zenzerino with, from the previous post-luckily it wasn't the same ginger...), so we decided to make banana bread. I found a recipe and altered it a bit. My sugar-eating companions enjoyed it very much. Here's my version:

Banana Bread with Ginger

1/2 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup plain yogurt

3 ripe bananas

2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp allspice

2 Tbsp fresh ginger, zested

My (lazy) food processor/blender directions: Pulverize banana in food processor. Take out the banana and cream the butter and sugar in the food processor. Add banana, yogurt, and ginger. This will yield a spongier bread, and as you can see below, a fluffy batter.

Normal directions for less lazy people: Cream together butter and sugar. Add yogurt and mashed bananas.

Then: Combine all dry ingredients in a seperate bowl and mix dry and wet ingredients. Bake at 350 for about an hour or until a knife comes out clean.

Then, we made molasses frosting.

Then, Aaron ate a lot of ginger.
