All-Bran Banana Bread Is Real Homemade Treat
With rich, sugar-consuming desserts off the list for the duration, women are wondering how they are going to give their meals that extra something that satisfies. One answer is with homemade bread and muffins. When golden brown muffins or fragrant, freshly baked bread are served, no other dessert is necessary.
Fortunately, most of today's tastiest breads are quick bread, which means that they can be turned out in an hour or so. Secondly, they can be piled full of nutrition by using bran or whole grain flours; by adding nuts and dried fruits, and by serving with fresh, creamy dairy butter.
Probably the favorite-of-favorites among homemade bread is All-Bran Banana Nut Bread. Bananas give it a moist sweetness, nuts a crunchiness, and bran a toasted wheaty taste. Sliced and spread with butter, it's delectable.
Whole Wheat Prune Bread is another winner. In this tender textured, deep flavored loaf molasses pinch-hits for sugar, while the prunes do a fine job of flavoring. This, by the way, makes superb cream cheese sandwiches.
Two muffins that deserve attention as dessert substitutes are Apple Corn Muffins and All-Bran Cream Scones. The Corn Muffins, of course, can be baked in a shallow pan, johnnycake fashion, sliced pie-shape
and served piping hot with butter. So tasty are the Bran Cream Scones when spread with strawberry preserves or honey, that no one's going to miss those before-the-war pies and cakes.
