You heard it here first folks. I have successfully barbecued banana bread!
There was a pile of ripe bananas piling up in my freezer, and they needed to be used. I make excellent banana bread with them. Or banana oatmeal muffins, but that is there not here. Today we are talking about making banana bread.

METHOD

1. Preheat your grill to medium, 350°F.
2. Position the knife blades in your food processor and process the butter and bananas together for 20 seconds.
3. Add the remaining ingredients, flour, sugar, eggs, milk, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, soda, salt and nuts, and process until all the ingredients are blended. Approximately 10 seconds. Do not process for longer than to just combine all ingredients because it will make the bread thick, dry and tough.
   
4. Pour batter into a well greased 9 by 5–inch pan (loaf pan).
   
5. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
   

Note: Before baking, sprinkle the top with brown sugar to give it a bit of a bit of a sweet crusty topping.

You can substitute nuts for raisins, or chocolate chips or just leave the bread plain.

YES this can be done in an oven as well with very similar results.

If you do not have a food processor

1. Cream bananas and butter together.
2. Using a whisk add the eggs, vanilla, milk, lemon juice, then add your sugar, cinnamon, soda and salt. Then slowly add your flour, carefully beating until the batter is smooth. Stop as soon as the batter is smooth, or it could go coarse when baked.
3. Follow steps 4 and 5.

This bread is a hit with everyone that I share it with. And if you’ve got children in the mix, they won’t even notice that you used whole wheat flour, that theres fruit in there, or that you have made it with a sugar substitute.

Happy Grilling!
