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!

Tips:

  • Mash the bananas thoroughly: This will help to incorporate them evenly into the batter and prevent large chunks of banana from appearing in your bread.
  • Use a combination of flours: All-purpose flour is a good choice for banana nut bread, but you can also add some whole wheat flour or oat flour for a more hearty texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Add nuts and other mix-ins: Chopped walnuts, pecans, or raisins are all popular additions to banana nut bread. You can also add chocolate chips, dried fruit, or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • Bake the bread at a moderate temperature: Banana nut bread should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
