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 and Conclusion

Baking Tips:

  • Preheat the oven: Always preheat the oven to the desired temperature before baking. This ensures that the bread cooks evenly and has a consistent texture.
  • Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas give the bread a sweeter, more intense flavor. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few days.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together: This step helps to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, fluffier bread. Be sure to cream the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This helps to prevent the batter from curdling. Beat each egg into the batter until it is well combined before adding the next one.
  • Add the dry ingredients gradually: Adding the dry ingredients gradually helps to ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Be sure to mix the batter until it is just combined, overmixing can result in a tough bread.
  • Fold in the nuts: If you are adding nuts to the bread, fold them in gently at the end. Overmixing can cause the nuts to break up and become too fine.
  • Bake the bread: Bake the bread in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of the loaf pan.

Conclusion:

Banana nut bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It is also a great way to use up overripe bananas. With a few simple tips, you can bake a perfect loaf of banana nut bread every time.
