Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick butter, softened
2 c sugar or sugar substitute ( splenda )
6 bananas ( ripe & mashed )
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 c pecans, in pieces
1/2 c walnut pieces
2 Tbsp vanilla extract ( mexican vanilla is best )
4 c all purpose flour
3 eggs

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • 2. Mix together butter, sugar, eggs, and mashed bananas.
  • 3. In another bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt.
  • 4. Combine both mixtures and add vanilla and nuts. Mix thoroughly. Pour into 2 well greased bread pans.
  • 5. And bake for an hour at 350 degrees. To test stick tooth pick into center and if it comes out clean it's done.
  • 6. Cooks Note: Being Diabetic I've made it with Splenda and it's outstanding.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to create a smooth, even crumb.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the mashed bananas: Make sure to mix them in gently so that you don't overmix the batter.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients: Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the bread tough.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan: Make sure to smooth out the top of the batter.
  • Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Check the bread after 50 minutes to make sure that it's not overbaking.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely: This will help to prevent the bread from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These are just a few tips to help you make the perfect banana nut bread. With a little practice, you'll be able to create a delicious and moist loaf that your family and friends will love. So what are you waiting for? Get baking today!
