DAUGHTER'S BANANA BREAD



Daughter's Banana Bread image

This is my daughter's recipe. She makes the best Banana Bread that I have ever had. It is so moist and it has wonderful banana flavor because she uses bananas that are almost gone by--never uses normal ones. That is why her bread is so good. Also, all her ingredients are at room temperature before she mixes it.

THE BEST BANANA BREAD



The Best Banana Bread image

We have a lot of requirements when it comes to banana bread and we finally created a recipe that ticks all the boxes. It's moist, tender, a little tangy and perfectly sweet-all around our favorite one. The best part is that it's even better the next day (if it lasts that long). Try toasting the bread and slathering with a little salted butter. We're pretty sure you'll never need another banana bread recipe.

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil, plus more for greasing pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk, sour cream or yogurt
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 soft, very ripe, darkly speckled medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
  • Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

KID-APPROVED BANANA BREAD



Kid-Approved Banana Bread image

This bread is moist and delicious, relatively low in fat, and constantly requested by my four kids for snacks or their school lunches. They even avoid eating all the bananas so there are enough left to ripen to black for banana bread! Freezes well too. Just cool fully and place in an airtight bag or container.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth. This will help to create a moist and tender loaf of bread.
  • Use a combination of sugars: Using a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar will give your banana bread a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the banana bread at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking banana bread is 350°F (175°C). Baking at a higher temperature will cause the bread to brown too quickly and the inside may not be cooked through.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana bread is a delicious and versatile quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It is also a great way to use up ripe bananas. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a banana bread recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give one of these recipes a try.
