the elephant bread

A tribute to the book and film The Elephant Man about a tale of a man born with elephant like features on his face looking for love and acceptance. This past Memorial Day weekend, instead of barbecuing and hanging outside, I paid tribute to this elephant man and made elephant like banana and blueberry bread
Well, that wasn't the original plan.
The original plan was to make banana bread and blueberry bread respectively for my father to have for his morning breakfast, because there is nothing better than having a homemade breakfast made by your own offspring.
What it turned out was the elephant banana bread and elephant blueberry bread by mistake.

Elephant Banana Bread
4 cups of all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons of baking powder
1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
2 eggs
1 cup of brown sugar
1 cup milk
1/2 cup of plain yogurt
3/4 cup of melted butter or 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
3 cups of mashed ripe bananas
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Grease two 9x5 loaf pans or small mini-loaf pans with cooking spray.
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
In a medium sized bowl, combine eggs, milk, yogurt, sugar, butter, vanilla and bananas.
Once both bowls are combined, add the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Now, once all is mixed well pour batter into loaf pans, not half way as many recipes will say, but pour it 3/4 of the way full to get the monstrosity of the bread. (Or 1/2 way if you want).
Bake for 50-60 minutes if in loaf pans, if in mini-loaf pans, bake for 30-40 minutes.

Elephant Blueberry Bread
3 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
2 teaspoons of baking powder
Pinch of salt
Dash of nutmeg
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup of plain yogurt
2 cups of fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 385 degrees.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and nutmeg and set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together sugar, vegetable oil, egg, yogurt, and vanilla and mix until incorporated.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in 1/2 cup intervals until mixture is fully incorporated.
Add in the blueberries and give the mixture one last mix.
Pour into mini-loaf pans and bake for 15-20 minutes.

The monstrosity that is this bread.
