GRANDMA'S BANANA BREAD (AMAZING)



Grandma's Banana Bread (Amazing) image

This is one of those recipes that is so simple yet so amazingly good, that you keep thinking there has to be more to it. It's hard to mess up sweet breads like this, but this is the best of the best. There is something magic in its simple ingredients, and when I experiment with it, I always find I still like the original...

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 c butter
1 c sugar (i've tried brown (love brown), and it works, but white is best in this recipe. it lets the other favors shine)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 c (takes about 3) over ripe bananas, mashed
2 c flour
1/2 c nuts, optional (i like pecans)

Steps:

  • 1. Cream butter, sugar & eggs. Add salt & baking soda; mix well. Beat in the bananas. Add the flour. Stir in nuts if using.
  • 2. Pour into a LARGE buttered loaf pan (mine measures 4 1/4" x 8 1/4" on the bottom, 5 1/2" x 9 1/2" on the top, 2 3/4" tall.) If pan is not big enough, it will not cook all the way in the center. If you have a smaller pan, don't use all the batter in one pan. The recipe says to let sit at room temp. For 20 min. I never do.
  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 45- 60 min., until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 5-10 minutes before loosening sides and inverting, letting it cool the rest of the way on a cooling rack.
  • 4. Great out of the oven, even better the next day, if it doesn't get eaten first! Wrap up after it cools completely to keep it moist.

GRANNY'S BANANA NUT BREAD - EASY!



Granny's Banana Nut Bread - easy! image

My brothers & I used to argue over who would get the last piece of this bread, it was soo good. If you butter a slice & put it under the broiler or in the microwave, just until the butter melts, (unless you like it crispy) it is so good!

Provided by Alyson Newton

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 c shortening, butter flavor
3/4 c sugar or splenda
2 c flour (i use 1/2 wheat & 1/2 cake flour)
2 eggs (or egg beaters with yolk)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c buttermilk
1/2-3/4 c nuts broken in pcs. (i use pecans)
1/2 tsp almond extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheit. Using Pam, spray a loaf pan, or you can make a smaller version in a bundt pan (it's cute). Get large bowl & cream the sugar and shortening until blended well. In a small bowl, mash together the sliced up bananas & eggs. (Break the yoke if using real eggs and mix them a little before adding to the bananas). Pour the egg mixure in the sugar/shortening mix and blend well.
  • 2. In medium bowl stir dry ingredients together. Stir in the flour & buttermilk alternately, to the banana mixture, until blended. Stir in desired amount of nuts. Pour into pregreased loaf (or bundt) pan & bake in preheated oven, until toothpick comes out clean.
  • 3. My grandmother said to cook it 55 minutes, but I've found often it doesn't take that long. It's better to start checking it after 30 minutes, to avoid drying it out. I take it out as soon as the toothpick comes out clean, and let it cool on a thick straw coaster on the counter. After @ 15-20 minutes it'll still melt butter, so dig in and enjoy! :) You can also play around with spices or some ingreds, I added a cup of coconut & some ginger last time I made it & doubled the recipe to fill a bundt pan & it was really good, so don't be afraid to try new things, or sizes with it! The single recipe makes a cute little round breakfast type cake, in a bundt pan, to have with coffee too.

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.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana nut bread will be. If you don't have any ripe bananas on hand, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few days.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana nut bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will result in a bread that is too thick and dense. A larger loaf pan will result in a bread that is too thin and dry.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that your banana nut bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana nut bread is a classic for a reason. It's easy to make, moist and delicious. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your banana nut bread turns out perfect every time. So next time you have a few ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
