Categories     Quick Breads

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups mashed bananas (4 to 5 Medium bananas)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup sugar (or Splenda, whatever you like)
2 eggs, separated (Large or Medium)
1 1/2 ounces milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons flax seeds
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional) or 1/4 cup pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • Cream together butter, sugar, & egg yolks until creamy.
  • Sift dry ingredients together (flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg). Alternately add the dry mixture to the creamed butter mixture as well as the milk & mashed bananas. Beat the egg whites until a stiff peak forms and fold in with a wooden spoon, (make sure you only use a wooden spoon to do this - this is KEY), next - fold in the chopped nuts also stir in with the wooden spoon.
  • Bake in a loaf pan that you have sprayed with olive oil or non-stick spray and dusted lightly with flour at 350° for approximately 45 minutes - insert a toothpick in the center of the loaf to ensure it is not runny, if it is - allow to bake an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • Cool on a wire rack and serve with cream cheese or your favorite margarine.
  • Note: I love to wait a day and then toast a piece in my toaster oven - it is SO good when it gets re-heated and toasty with butter on it and a cup of coffee - YUM!

Tips:

  • Ensure ripe bananas: Use overripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful banana bread. The riper the bananas, the better the bread will be.
  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients make a big difference in the taste of your banana bread. Use real butter and eggs, and choose a good quality vanilla extract.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense banana bread. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling. If you slice the bread while it's still warm, it's more likely to fall apart.

Conclusion:

Mommy's Banana Bread is a classic recipe that is sure to please everyone. With its moist, tender texture and sweet, banana flavor, this bread is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield delicious results. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give Mommy's Banana Bread a try.
