Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Fruit Bread Recipes     100+ Banana Bread Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, melted
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
2 apples, cubed
¾ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, softened
banana slices for garnish
apple slices for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 7x3-inch loaf pans.
  • In a bowl, whisk together 2 3/4 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, the baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the melted butter with 2 cups of sugar until smooth, and mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated.
  • Fold in the bananas, apples, and chopped walnuts until combined; do not overmix. There should be small chunks of banana visible in the batter. Pour half the batter into each prepared loaf pan.
  • Mix the brown sugar, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, 1/4 cup of flour, and 3 tablespoons of softened butter together in a bowl until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle half the crumb topping over each loaf. Garnish each loaf with banana and apple slices.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove and cover each pan with aluminum foil. Return to oven, and bake an additional 15 or 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving.

APPLE BANANA BREAD



Apple Banana Bread image

This recipe is now back to my original posting as I posted it at Recipezaar many years ago. Recently I noticed that somehow the name got changed as did some of the ingredients. In 2005 I wrote that this is a moist light bread/cake with just a hint of cinnamon. Keeep an eye on cooking times as too long and it will be drier. Also leave in tin for about 5 mins before turning out onto a rack to cool completely. Slices can be served as a dessert topped with custard and whipped cream, or cold and buttered.

PEAR BANANA BREAD



Pear Banana Bread image

A nice change from regular banana bread--it's super moist and the pears really boost the flavor. I developed this by combining the best elements of banana and fruit bread recipes. As one of the reviewers discovered, this recipe doesn't work with hard pears--they have to be soft so they can be mashed in with the bananas to form a puree. Also, this can be cooked more quickly in a muffin tin (about 20 minutes).

PEAR BANANA BREAD LOW-FAT



Pear Banana Bread Low-Fat image

This is my version of a traditional banana bread with a twist! Its very sweet, moist and down right delicious. While its not a fat free food it is low-fat compared to its traditional counter-part. Recipe makes 2 loafs, 6 serving per loaf. Tastes good cold or hot. With or without topping. Its super easy, and great for kids to help make! Try adding nuts or dry fruits to the mix right before baking for an extra texture and flavor element. == Note: When I made this recipe I used a kitchen aid stand mixer, if you don't have one; take a plastic bag, mush your bananas and pears together then add to a bowl and whisk all the materials together. Its super simple. Easily vegan if you use egg substitute. You will also need two medium sized bread loaf pans.****
