MOIST AND DELICIOUS BANANA BREAD
This is the best banana bread I have ever had. I buy really ripe bananas just so I can make this :-) Got the recipe years ago from my friend Rachel. We used to beg her to make this for us in college! I think the moistness is due to the 1/2 cup of oil - I didn't say it was the healthiest banana bread around, but it is worth the extra time on the treadmill!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the long sides so it will be easy to lift out the bread, and spray again.
- Add the butter to a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns amber brown and smells nutty, about 3-4 minutes. Watch carefully so the butter does not burn. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Add cooled brown butter and brown sugar to a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until evenly combined, about 1 minute. Add the egg and beat until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla and mix with a rubber spatula until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and banana mixture to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour and folding with a rubber spatula between each addition until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth with an offset spatula, then sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top.
- Bake the banana bread until golden brown and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes. Set the loaf pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour, then lift out the banana bread and slice.
- Enjoy!
TASTY BANANA BREAD
I like this recipe because it is easy to make and has a stronger taste of banana than most banana breads. It is also a low calorie, low fat recipe. It creates a tasty, chewy on the edges banana bread. This recipe comes from a Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook titled "New Dieter's Cookbook". You can also make this vegan by substituting one medium banana mashed/beaten till liquidy or 1 tablespoon ground flax seed plus 3 tablespoons water for the egg whites. It is very delicous and moist any way you decide to make it.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the banana bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the banana bread tough and dense.
- Bake the banana bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. An overbaked banana bread will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to set and keep its shape.
- Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With its simple ingredients and moist, flavorful texture, it's a favorite of both kids and adults alike. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this classic recipe a try!
