MED's relatives are visiting and one of them, let's call her J, is wheat-free. I was planning on making frittata and banana bread, since they would be joining us for breakfast. Since J can eat rye, I looked to see if we were stocked with rye flour. I was victorious in my search and started cooking.
Things you will need:
2 cups rye flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
A pinch or two of salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar (or a bit less, depending on the ripeness of your bananas)
2 lightly beaten eggs
Just under two cups mashed ripe banana
1/2 cup mashed ripe pear, peeled and cored
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C and butter a bread pan
Combine the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl
Add the rest of the ingredients, saving the banana/pear mush and flour for last.
Add the banana and incorporate fully.
Add the flour last and mix well. Don't forget the flour! I almost did...
Cook on a center rack until a toothpick comes out almost clean, or clean if you like it well done. Mine cooked for about an hour and a half, but I would test it before then.
The pear ended up turning purple...so if this happens to you, just eat it, it still tastes good (:
