I made up this recipe when I was vegetarian and didn't eat eggs. It's packed with fiber, omega-3s and soy protein, but tastes delicious! Silken tofu is a wonderful egg substitute. It's one of the best ways to make banana bread. -Brittany Carrington, Tehachapi, California

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:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana nut bread will be. Overripe bananas are ideal for baking, as they have a higher sugar content and a softer texture.
  • Measure your flour correctly: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh your flour. Scooping flour directly from the bag can result in too much flour being packed into the measuring cup, leading to a dense and dry loaf of bread.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and more tender loaf of bread. Creaming the butter and sugar together also helps to dissolve the sugar and create a smooth batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough and chewy loaf of bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking the bread can dry it out. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.

Conclusion:

Mom's moist banana nut bread is a classic recipe that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist and flavorful crumb, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy walnuts, this bread is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy the delicious aroma of freshly baked banana nut bread filling your home.
