Asian Pear Spread “No Egg” Banana Bread
This moist, egg-free banana bread uses Subarashii Kudamono Asian Pear Spread as a natural binder and subtle sweetener. Blended with ripe banana, melted butter, and just a hint of sugar, it bakes into a tender, golden loaf that’s comforting, easy to make, and surprisingly flavorful—no eggs required.
Ingredients
½ cup butter
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
¾ jar Subarashii Kudamono Asian Pear Spread
1 very ripe banana (ideally frozen then defrosted)
2 cups flour
½ teaspoon salt (if preferred)
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350F. Butter thoroughly one round cake pan.
- Mash banana in small bowl. Mix dry ingredients in large bowl. Melt butter in microwave. Mix butter with dry. Add banana – stir everything well. Stir in Subarashii Asian Pear Spread – batter will be thick.
- Scoop into cake pan – spreading evenly. Bake for 30 minutes at 350F. As oven temps vary, jab fork in middle of bread – if still gooey – bake for 5 additional minutes. Baked bread should be stiff but moist.
- Slice a wedge & enjoy!
Note: Asian Pear spread acts like a natural binder (just as eggs do in baking). It’s particularly flavorful in baking darker breads, cakes & cookies when out of eggs.
