Banana/Orange Bread image

The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. Experiment as you wish with the ingredients. Some people like raisins or currant in their loaves (I do not, but that should not stop anyone). This recipe is a delicious, healthy version of an old standby, and one which the entire family can enjoy. The following recipe has batter sufficient for one loaf; I have doubled the ingredients to create two loaves and bake them at the same time. Eat one, and freeze the other. Enjoy. IMPORTANT: Please note nut ingredients. Omit nuts if there are allergy implications. This recipe was originally created by Tracy Holly, General Manager of the Cory Holly Institute. She writes for national magazines and is a lifestyle coach, lecturer and emcee. Tracy is a health and fitness activist and believes in natural medicine. Tracy is the author of "THE ATHLETE'S COOKBOOK", teaches Latin and ballroom dancing, and competes in Masters' Level Ms Fitness and natural body building. Tracy's recipe appears in the current issue of VISTA Magazine; a Canadian Health Publication.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bread turned out really dense and gummy.

This bread is a bit dry. I think I would add some more butter or oil next time.

The bread didn't rise very well. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This bread is a great make-ahead breakfast or snack. I like to slice it and freeze it, then toast it in the morning.

This banana orange bread was a delight! The flavors of banana and orange complemented each other perfectly, and the bread itself was moist and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.
