BANANA/ORANGE BREAD



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.
