How to Substitute Bananas for Oil in Breads
Various foods, including applesauce, zucchini and banana can be used in baking as a substitute for margarine, oil or butter. Bananas are best used in recipes where the fruit's flavor is masked. Chocolate recipes therefore work well, as do banana bread or spice cakes. Banana can be used as a substitute for oil or another fat in a different kind of bread, so long as you are prepared to accept a distinctive banana flavor.
Things You'll Need
- Ripe bananas
- Dry ingredients measuring cup
Instructions
-
Identify the amount of oil called for in your bread recipe. Make note of what stage in the recipe the oil is due to be added.
-
Mash enough ripe bananas into a mixing bowl to replace the oil in your recipe. One mashed medium banana is approximately equal to 1/2 to 2/3 cup of ingredient.
-
Measure an amount of mashed banana equal to the amount of oil called for in your recipe, using a standard dry ingredient measuring cup. Put the measured banana aside.
-
Place the measured banana into your recipe at the point when the oil is called for. Stir the banana in well, making sure that there are no lumps.
