These mini loaves are the perfect size for a bake sale treat or to keep in the freezer for a go-to after school snack.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray, for coating the pans
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 very ripe bananas
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat the sides and bottoms of 4 mini loaf pans (5 3/4 by 3 1/4 by 2 1/4 inches) with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together both flours, the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the dry mixture in a small bowl.
  • Using a fork, mash 2 1/2 bananas with both sugars in a large bowl until the mixture is mostly smooth with a few small pieces of banana. Add the oil and egg and stir until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined and then stir in the milk. Toss the chocolate chips with the reserved flour mixture and fold into the batter. Divide the batter among the prepared mini loaf pans. Thinly slice the remaining 1/2 banana and place 4 to 5 slices in an overlapping line down the center of each mini loaf on top of the batter.
  • Bake until the tops of the loaves are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the breads in the pans for 10 minutes and then turn each pan upside down to release the breads. Cool completely, banana slice side up, on a wire rack.
  • Cook's Notes: To freeze for later use, wrap each loaf first in plastic wrap and then foil. Take out the frozen loaves the night before using and thaw in the refrigerator.
  • You can also bake the batter as 1 large loaf in a greased 9-by-5-inch metal loaf pan for 55 to 60 minutes, covering the bread in the last 10 minutes with a piece of foil if it browns too quickly. Cool in the pan 10 minutes and then turn out and cool completely on a wire rack.

BANANA BLUEBERRY MINI LOAVES



Banana Blueberry Mini Loaves image

These loaves are so good! They keep well in the freezer. I like to store my overly ripe bananas in the freezer so I always have some on hand for bread. They (bananas) look pretty gross when you thaw them out, but they work great!

Provided by georgi

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 55m

Yield 4 mini loaves

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
3 mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (I also like to use lemon)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (do not thaw)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 350.
  • Grease and flour bottoms only of 4 mini loaf pans.
  • (I use nonstick and skip this step)/ In a large bowl combine oil and sugar.
  • Beat in bananas, yogurt, vanilla and eggs blending well.
  • Add flour, salt and baking soda and mix just until moistened.
  • Gently fold in blueberries.
  • Pour into pans.
  • Bake 40-50 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth, with no lumps. This will help the banana bread to be light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is the right size: The batter should fill the loaf pan about 2/3 full. If the pan is too small, the banana bread will overflow. If the pan is too large, the banana bread will be too thin.
  • Bake the banana bread at the right temperature: The banana bread should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the banana bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and nutty crunch from the walnuts, this banana bread is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to try this recipe for Banana Fruit Mini Loaves.
