Got a Ninja blender for Christmas.
The thing pulverizes everything.
So I had this whim to make an orange cranberry bread. Didn't use a recipe or anything, just sort of played around with it.
Here's what I did:
1c. almond milk
1 entire orange
1 banana
1c. white flour
1c. almond flour
1t. baking powder
1t. baking soda
1 egg
1t. vanilla extract
1/4c. sugar
handful of craisins
handful of chopped almonds
Blended the wet ingredients in my Ninja. Combined wet and pre-mixed dry ingredients. Baked it about an hour and 15 on 350.
The thing just never fully cooked. It was dense, moist, tasted uncooked (but with a good flavor) and was not fluffy at all.
I reserved a bit of the batter for some pancakes and those were a flop too. (No pun intended.) They would NOT finish in the middle.
I'm wondering if maybe the entire orange (peel and all) is just too oily. It smelled divine and the flavor was good, but the texture and un-done-ness was inedible.
Thoughts?
