Categories     Recipes

Yield 1 Loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup (1 stick or 4 ounces) unsalted butter
½ cup (3 ¾ ounces) packed light or dark brown sugar
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups (~ 12 ounces) mashed ripe banana (3-4 medium to large bananas)
¼ cup (3 ounces) honey (I used sugar - works fine)
2 large eggs
2 cups (8 ounces) whole wheat flour, traditional or white whole wheat (I found that 2 cups was closer to 10 ounces - guess my whole wheat is heavy)
½ cups (2 ounces) chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
  • Beat together the butter, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the banana, honey and eggs, beating until smooth. Add the flour and nuts, stirring until smooth. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and let it rest at room temperature, uncovered for 10 minutes.
  • Bake the bread for 50 minutes. Lay a piece of foil gently across the top and bake until a cake tester (like a toothpick) inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes more. Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before turning it out of the pan onto a rack to cool completely.

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA BREAD



Whole Wheat Banana Bread image

I actually abandoned my "family" banana bread in favor of this one... It's more a like a cake than a bread. I have increased the bananas from the original recipe, and I prefer to omit the nuts. I like mine warm with butter on top. Yummy!

Provided by Kelly Vaughn

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3 medium bananas, preferably frozen, then defrosted (1-2 cups mashed)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup hot water
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Melt butter.
  • Put the butter, sugar, bananas and eggs in a blender. Blend until nice and smooth.
  • Now transfer to a mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together flours, salt, and baking soda.
  • Add dry ingredients to banana mixture alternately with hot water.
  • Stir in chopped nuts.
  • Cut a piece of waxed or parchment paper the size of the bottom of your loaf pan.
  • (This helps the loaf come out in one piece while still warm).
  • Put the paper in the loaf pan and spray the pan well with non-stick spray.
  • Scoop the batter into the pan.
  • Bake in a preheated 325 degree F oven for one hour and 10 minutes.
  • Test with a cake tester to make to make sure it's done.
  • Sometimes it takes a little bit longer.
  • If the top gets too brown, cover it with a piece of aluminum foil so it doesn't get too much darker.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Measure your flour correctly: Too much flour will make your bread dry and dense. Use a kitchen scale to measure your flour for the most accurate results.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make your bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This will help the bread rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Test the bread for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If there is still batter on the toothpick, bake the bread for a few more minutes.

Conclusion:

This white whole wheat banana bread is a delicious and healthy way to use up ripe bananas. It's made with simple ingredients and is easy to make. The bread is moist and flavorful, with a slightly sweet taste. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
