Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick or 115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup (80g) plain yogurt or sour cream, at room temperature (I use Greek yogurt)
2 cups (460g) mashed bananas (about 4 large ripe bananas)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
optional: 3/4 cup (100g) chopped pecans or walnuts

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. On medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the yogurt, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract on medium speed until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly beat the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no flour pockets remain. Do not overmix. Fold in the nuts, if using.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 60-65 minutes. Loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil after 30 minutes to help prevent the top and sides from getting too brown. A toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf will come out clean when the bread is done. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack.
  • Cover and store banana bread at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Banana bread tastes best on day 2 after the flavors have settled together. See post above for freezing instructions.

3 bananas, mashed
1 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1/2 cup natural applesauce
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a mixer, mash bananas, add Splenda, then mix together thoroughly. Then, mix in the applesauce, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking soda. Pour ingredients into a bread pan sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes; cake tester should come out clean when done. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack. NOTE: If using a dark coated pan, bake at 325°F and bake a little longer, maybe 10 to 15 minutes longer, just keep an eye on it; cook the cake until when a toothpick comes out of the cake clean, with no batter on it, it's okay if it has crumbs on it.

THE BEST BANANA BREAD



The Best Banana Bread image

We have a lot of requirements when it comes to banana bread and we finally created a recipe that ticks all the boxes. It's moist, tender, a little tangy and perfectly sweet-all around our favorite one. The best part is that it's even better the next day (if it lasts that long). Try toasting the bread and slathering with a little salted butter. We're pretty sure you'll never need another banana bread recipe.

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil, plus more for greasing pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk, sour cream or yogurt
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 soft, very ripe, darkly speckled medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
  • Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

ONE PAN BANANA BREAD



One Pan Banana Bread image

A one pan recipe with minimal clean-up required. A little sister in my husband's fraternity was kind enough to share her recipe with me which I've since made dozens of times.

Provided by Caryn

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h12m

Yield 1 9x5x3-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (, about 3 large)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
2 1/3 cups Bisquick baking mix
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup nuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Generously grease the bottom only of a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
  • Stir all ingredients in pan with a fork until moistened; beat vigorously 1 minute.
  • Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool 5 minutes.
  • Run knife around sides of loaf to loosen, remove from pan.
  • Cool completely.
  • (if loaf sticks to pan, press gently on side of loaf with a knife).

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Mash the bananas thoroughly: This will help to create a smooth and even batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the banana bread tough.
  • Bake the banana bread at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent the bread from drying out.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
