This is sensational! I dont remember who posted this first, but I tried some variations and came up with one that we really like! Banana Walnut Bread with Dried Prunes =250 calories per piece, if cut into 9 pieces (I use 8x8x2 glass baking dish) Makes 1 loaf/pan 1 cup water 1 cup dried pitted prunes, coarsely chopped 1/4 cup honey 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon allspice 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (if you dont have allspice, substitute your favorite pumpkin-pie spices such as a mix of cloves, ginger, ground coriander) 1 cup mashed bananas, from 2-3 ripe bananas I added 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind and it improved the recipe 100%! I also added 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring 2 large eggs 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts (I used freshly-grated coconut instead) Bake *In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring water and dried prunes to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes on low heat or until most of the the liquid has been cooked down. Stir in honey until incorporated. Set aside to cool. *Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 C) . Grease a 9x5x3 baking pan with butter or cooking spray. *In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, allspice and cinnamon. *In a large bowl, mix eggs, mashed bananas and dried prunes mixture until smooth. Add dry ingredients, stir to blend. Fold in walnuts. Transfer batter to pan. *Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. *Let cool for 15 minutes. *Store in an airtight container or tightly wrapped for up to 3 days.
