Country Crock and Influenster

This is a post for a product that I received from Influenster. They sent me a coupon in the mail for a free tub of Country Crock butter.




Now I don't normally use Country Crock, but why not give it a whirl. I opted for the Original and decided to use it for a day of baking craziness. So off I go.



First up. Bethenny Frankel's Boo Boo Banana Bread. This is my favorite Banana Bread recipe! It is easy and it's super healthy.



Ingredients
·  1 cup raw sugar
·  1 tablespoon butter (Country Crock)
·  1 cup mashed over ripe bananas (2 or 3)
·  1 egg
·  1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
·  1 cup oat flour
·  ¾ teaspoon baking powder
·  ½ teaspoon baking soda
·  ¼ teaspoon salt
·  ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
3. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of a loaf pan.
4. Put it in the bottom of the pan and spray it with cooking spray.
5. Pour in the batter and cover it loosely with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
6. Cool completely, then slice and serve.


This bread does not last a day in my house. I guess I should invest in another loaf pan, and make two. Time to double the recipe. Next on my list is Brownie Cookies.  

Ingredients
– ½ cup butter (Country Crock)
– 1 ½ cups raw sugar
– ½ banana, mashed
– 2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
– 2 cups oat flour
– ⅔ cup cocoa powder
– ¾ teaspoon baking soda
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
* Makes about 24 small or 12 large cookies
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, banana, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until well blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonful's onto ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until set. Cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.


Try both of these recipes and use Country Crock, they are both moist and delicious.
