Tis the fall season (and Happy Hallow's Eve). What better way to show it than to bake with persimmons!? I took my banana nut bread recipe and subbed two bananas with 2 large persimmons.
The above photo is a mash of one banana and two persimmons.
Use a hand blender to puree the mashed fruit unless you like fruit chunks.
Then, mix in 2 eggs, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup melted butter.
In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, lots of cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp nutmeg.
Add the flour mix to your mashed fruits.
Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
Pour batter in loaf pan. Top with more chopped walnuts.
(Note: Lightly press the chopped nuts into the batter.)
Bake in preheated oven of 350°F for 60 minutes or until done.
Personally, it still tasted like a banana nut bread. I must've used a really ripe banana.... Oh wells, still sweet and delicious!
