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.

Mr. Foods Banana Bread BEST BANANa BREAD EVER!!!!!! image

I made too much of this banana bread once, I gave it to my neighbors, and they absolutely LOVED it! they keep asking me for more, and I even made a banana cake out of this for a wedding. it's a delicious INCREDIBLY easy bread made from basic ingredients.

Provided by hannahrosethomsen

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 bread, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup canola oil or 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas (the more brown they are the better)
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons milk (I use half & half)

Steps:

  • preheat your oven to 350 degrees, grease a 13X9 pan, then peel your bananas and mash them in a small bowl, set aside. next take out a large bowl and put the vegetable oil in, gradually add the sugar, stirring after each addition. then add the eggs and stir until thoroughly combined and slightly fluffy. then you mix in the mashed bananas, set this mixture aside. combine all of the dry ingredients in one bowl stirring until everything is mixed in, then gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mix. (the mix will be a little dry, so don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong!) next add the milk (or half & half) and the vanilla.* stir the mixture and then pour into the pan. sometimes when I make this recipe there's a little bit too much batter in the bowl, so make sure that you don't fill the pan too full! it only needs to come up slightly above the half way point. I usually make a few muffins out of the extra.
  • cooking time:.
  • bread: 50-60 minute or until knife stuck into the middle comes out clean.
  • muffins: 20-25 minute or until the edges pull away from the pan.
  • *I like to mix a cup of chocolate chips in at this point but if you would like to add blueberry's or nuts that's okay too.

BEST LOW FAT BANANA BREAD EVER



BEST LOW FAT BANANA BREAD EVER image

Categories     Bread     Fruit     Bake     Low Fat     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
rind of 1/2 a lemon, finely chopped
juice of 1 lemon
3 bananas, mashed
2 eggs
1/3 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. cinammon
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325. Beat together oil, sugar and lemon rind. Add lemon juice, bananas, eggs and yogurt. In a separate container stir together all dry ingredients (except walnuts). Add dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overbeat. Gently fold in walnuts. Bake for 1 hour, or until tester inserted into center comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your banana bread tough.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A smaller pan will make your banana bread too thick and dense.
  • Bake your banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes. Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let your banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to set 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 so many different recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a banana bread recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give one of these recipes a try!
