Papaya Bread with a Twist Recipe

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
  • 1 cup mashed ripe papaya
  • 3/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup diced crystallized ginger
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 5×7-inch loaf pans.
  2. Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs; beat until lightly fluffy. Beat in bananas, papaya, raisins, walnuts, and crystallized ginger until batter is smooth.
  3. Sift flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and baking powder together in a separate bowl. Mix gradually into the batter. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
