This is my standard recipe for banana bread, been making it for years, it describes itself as so easy that your children can try their hand at it! It always turns out well for me, and I am not much of a baker. It comes from "The Best Of Winning Recipes", a compilation of recipes from a popular South African magazine, "Huisgenoot". This recipe is accredited to Mrs H van der Berg of Brits.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 loaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ripe medium bananas
1 teaspoon lemon juice
275 g cake flour
15 ml baking powder
2 ml salt
200 g sugar
150 g peanuts, chopped
2 eggs, separated
50 g butter or 50 g margarine, melted
5 ml grated lemon rind

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350°F Grease a 23x13x7 cm loaf tin. Peel and mash the bananas and mix them with the lemon juice.
  • Sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt, in a fairly large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and nuts and mix. Beat the egg yolks and add them to the flour mixture with the butter or margarine. Mix lightly.
  • Add the banana pulp and lemon rind and mix well.
  • Beat the egg whites until just stiff, and fold them lightly into the batter with a metal spoon.
  • Spoon the batter into the tin, level it off, and sprinkle more nuts on top if desired. (I sprinkle some brown sugar on top).
  • Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 60 minutes. Test with a skewer to see if done: if the skewer comes out clean, the loaf is ready; if it does not, bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Allow the loaf to cool slightly in the tin. Turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

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!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before baking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in a more tender bread.
  • Bake the bread at a moderate temperature. A lower baking temperature will help to prevent the bread from drying out.
  • Check the bread for doneness with a toothpick. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Banana nut bread is a classic quick bread that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist, tender crumb and sweet, nutty flavor, it's the perfect snack or breakfast treat. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, you'll find that this recipe for banana nut bread is a winner.
