MOIST & DELICIOUS BANANA NUT BREAD



Moist & Delicious Banana Nut Bread image

I got this recipe when I was 12 and have used it for the past 33 years and haven't found one better! My son used it when he was 12 at the California State Fair and won a first place ribbon with it. It is just simply delicious & moist. I either make a loaf or put it into muffin cups & make muffins for my kids to grab in the morning on their way to school. Using margarine makes the muffins come out in a better form, but the butter has a better flavor, so I usually use 1/2 of each to get the best of both worlds.

Time 1h20m

Yield 18 muffins, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs (beaten)
3 ripe bananas, smashed (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup milk
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2-1 cup chopped pecans (optional) or 1/2-1 cup walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Cream butter & sugar. Add vanilla & eggs. Combine dry ingredients, add alternately with bananas & milk. Add nuts if desired. Grease & flour 1 bread pan (2-3 smaller pans) or pour into muffin cups. For loaf bake at 350 for 45-60 minute Muffins 350 for 20-25min. Enjoy!
  • *Note- I usually use a smaller bread pan to make the 2 loaves, or use a larger one and just make 1 big loaf, but it will need to bake longer. I adjusted the time because people had been saying it was over baking, now people are saying it's under baked. I would use the old fashion test of a tooth pick at 45 min, then at 1 hour -- up to 1 hour & 30 min if needed. Hope that helps!

EXTREME BANANA NUT BREAD 'EBNB'



Extreme Banana Nut Bread 'EBNB' image

This is my mom's dense, excellent, and definitely unhealthy banana nut bread recipe. It's always completely gone in minutes. This is great at parties, but hazardous at home. HEALTH WARNINGS: EBNB may be habit forming. A very flexible recipe that will accommodate changes based on what you have on hand. Use any type of fat in place of the butter, such as shortening or oil. It works with either brown or white sugar too.

1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups white sugar
2 cups mashed overripe bananas
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  • Sift the flour, salt and baking soda into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the butter or margarine and sugar until smooth. Stir in the bananas, eggs, and walnuts until well blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, and stir just until blended. Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans.
  • Bake for 60 to 70 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean. Let the loaves cool in the pans for at least 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack, and cool completely. Wrap in aluminum foil to keep in the moisture. Ideally, refrigerate the loaves for 2 hours or more before serving.

Delicious and moist. It's more like a cake than a bread. Looks as good as it tastes and easy to make. Also great with a little spread of lemon curd.

¼ cup applesauce
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Use quality ingredients: High-quality ingredients will result in a better-tasting bread.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender bread.
  • Gradually add the eggs: Adding the eggs one at a time will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough and dense bread.
  • Bake the bread at the correct temperature: The bread should be baked at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
