PRIZE WINNING BANANA NUT BREAD



Prize Winning Banana Nut Bread image

I have won ribbons with this recipe which I received from my grandmother. The only thing I do that is different from my grandmothers is I just throw the bananas in the freezer whole and unpeeled. Then I let them thaw and squeeze them into the batter when the recipe calls for them. I think that is the secret to the moist, denseness that my banana bread has. This bread CAN NOT be doubled. I know because I have tried 3 times and the bread won't rise. Cool COMPLETELY on a rack before wrapping and refrigerating. Or it will be icky and sticky in the middle. Enjoy!

  • Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. This will help ensure that your bread turns out perfectly.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.
  • Use quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your bread will taste. So use fresh, ripe bananas, high-quality nuts, and real butter.
  • Be patient: Baking bread takes time. Don't rush the process. Let the bread rise and bake for the full amount of time. This will help ensure that it turns out perfectly.
