Time 50m

Yield 1 cake, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
2 -3 ripe bananas, mashed thoroughly
1/2 cup chopped dried apricot
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 2 x 5-inch pans or one 9 x 5-inch pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, milk, and vanilla. At low speed, alternately beat flour mixture and mashed bananas into butter mixture. Stir in apricots and chopped nuts.
  • Spoon batter prepared pan(s). Bake until golden brown and a wooden pick placed in the center comes out clean (about 40 minutes for small pans and 50 minutes for a large pan). You can place foil over the top for the last 15 minutes if the bread is becoming too brown.
  • Note: The bread has a better flavor when it is wrapped and sits overnight (chilled or at room temperature).

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 loaf of bread.
  • Grease and flour your loaf pan: This will help prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the bread needs to bake longer.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Apricot banana quick bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and nutty aroma, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
