BROWN SUGAR BANANA NUT BREAD II
A delicious sweet cakey bread. Note: Most bread machines have a fruit and nut cycle. This should be set at Fruit and Nut Cycle and wait for the beep before adding your bananas and nuts. If you do not do this, the bread comes out tasteless.

BROWN SUGAR BANANA BREAD
This is a delicious recipe from the cookbook "Eating For IBS" by Heather Van Vorous. Not only is it the best banana bread I've ever tasted, it's low fat and very safe for people with IBS! If eggs aren't a problem for you feel free to substitute 3 eggs for the 6 egg whites. Please note that the bananas have to be super-ripe for this recipe. IF THEY'RE NOT BLACK, THEY'RE NOT READY! This recipe doubles or triples easily, and extra loaves freeze well.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Place the bananas into a large plastic zipper bag, seal the bag, and smoosh the bananas with your fingers until very well mashed. Set the bananas aside. Place the brown sugar and butter into a mixing bowl, and mix on medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Cut a corner from the plastic bag, and squeeze the mashed bananas into the bowl of brown sugar mixture. With the electric mixer on medium speed, beat in the bananas, egg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is well combined. Switch the mixer to low speed, and gradually beat in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt just until the batter is smooth, about 1 minute. Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is set and lightly browned on top, about 40 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf should come out clean.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. You can even use bananas that are starting to turn brown.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender loaf of banana bread.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Fold in the dry ingredients gradually: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense loaf of banana bread.
- Bake the banana bread in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
