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:

- To ensure a moist and flavorful loaf, use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the bread will be. - Mash the bananas thoroughly before adding them to the batter. This will help to evenly distribute the banana flavor throughout the bread. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - Add the nuts and raisins last, and stir them in gently. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf. - Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Raisin nut banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its moist and flavorful crumb, and the addition of nuts and raisins, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
