GRANDMA'S BEST EVER BANANA NUT BREAD



Grandma's Best Ever Banana Nut Bread image

This is dark, rich and moist. It is sweet and flavorful and I am told unlike any other people have tasted. Some liken it Mimi's Cafe, but say it is better. My mother, Belen, who passed away at the age of 100 had been making this for as long as I can remember. Please follow the instructions regarding putting the vinegar in the milk in one cup and the baking soda in warm water in another before mixing it with other ingredients. It makes a difference.

Time 1h12m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup mashed banana
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Grease a 9 X 5 X 3 inch loaf pan.

  • Combine bananas and milk in a bowl.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda onto wax paper.

  • Bake at 350 degree for 1 hour or until center springs back.
  • Cool in pan on rack for 5 minutes.
  • Turn out of pan and cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use overripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana nut bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense loaf of bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a variety of nuts: You can use all walnuts, all pecans, or a combination of nuts. For a more complex flavor, try using a mixture of chopped walnuts, pecans, and almonds.
  • Add-ins: Feel free to add other ingredients to your banana nut bread, such as chocolate chips, raisins, or dried cranberries. Just be sure not to add too much, or the bread will become too dense.
  • Loaf pan size: This recipe makes one 9x5 inch loaf of banana nut bread. If you want to make two smaller loaves, divide the batter between two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
  • Baking time: The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of your loaf pan. A 9x5 inch loaf will typically take about 60-70 minutes to bake, while two 8x4 inch loaves will take about 50-60 minutes.

Conclusion:

Banana nut bread is a classic quick bread that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist, flavorful crumb and nutty crunch, it's the perfect snack or dessert for any occasion. So next time you have some overripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
