"Did I just read
'Bacon' in the title?"
Yes. Yes you did.
I have a goal that
includes sneaking bacon
into all my meals.
It's my way of
stretching deliciousness to all corners of life
as well as stretching
the all-mighty-dollar.
If you've already
cooked the bacon (oh the smell!),
and eaten the bacon (oh
the tastiness!),
then you have the
ingredient needed to make banana bread!
What?
Yes.
The leftover.
The discarded.
The grease!
Save your bacon
grease!
So that you too can
have wonderfully addictive banana bread!
This recipe freezes extremely well.
So I always double it (or triple it!) and put two (or more!) loaves in the oven.
A loaf in this recipe takes over an hour to bake.
If the oven is going to be on that long
I want to take advantage and bake as much as I can! *wink*

Bacon Banana Bread
Note: Sadly it doesn't taste
like bacon.
But you'll wonder why you ate
the whole loaf in one sitting.
Answer: bacon!
Ingredients
1/4 cup Butter, melted
1/4 cup Bacon grease
(Saved using this method found in this post)
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
2 Bananas, mashed (approx. 1 cup)
1 cup All purpose flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking soda
1 cup Whole wheat flour
How To

2. Blend in sugar.
3. Beat in eggs and mashed banana. Mix until smooth.
4. Sift in all purpose flour, salt and soda. (To "sift" I simply mix everything together with a fork) Stir in whole wheat flour.
5. Preheat oven to 325F.
Pour batter into a 9x5 pan (does not need to be greased) and bake for
1hour 10 minutes. Check loaf for
doneness by pressing on the top of the loaf.
If it is not firm, bake for another 10 minutes.

Well?!?
Whaddaya think!?
Mmmmm....
Right?
Moist.
Right?
Can't believe it was
made from bacon.
Right?
Ate the whole loaf in
one sitting.
Right?
Yeah.
Bacon 'll do that.
Happy thoughts,
