MOIST & DELICIOUS BANANA NUT BREAD



Moist & Delicious Banana Nut Bread image

I got this recipe when I was 12 and have used it for the past 33 years and haven't found one better! My son used it when he was 12 at the California State Fair and won a first place ribbon with it. It is just simply delicious & moist. I either make a loaf or put it into muffin cups & make muffins for my kids to grab in the morning on their way to school. Using margarine makes the muffins come out in a better form, but the butter has a better flavor, so I usually use 1/2 of each to get the best of both worlds.

Provided by sktaggart

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h20m

Yield 18 muffins, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs (beaten)
3 ripe bananas, smashed (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup milk
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2-1 cup chopped pecans (optional) or 1/2-1 cup walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Cream butter & sugar. Add vanilla & eggs. Combine dry ingredients, add alternately with bananas & milk. Add nuts if desired. Grease & flour 1 bread pan (2-3 smaller pans) or pour into muffin cups. For loaf bake at 350 for 45-60 minute Muffins 350 for 20-25min. Enjoy!
  • *Note- I usually use a smaller bread pan to make the 2 loaves, or use a larger one and just make 1 big loaf, but it will need to bake longer. I adjusted the time because people had been saying it was over baking, now people are saying it's under baked. I would use the old fashion test of a tooth pick at 45 min, then at 1 hour -- up to 1 hour & 30 min if needed. Hope that helps!

This is my grandmother's recipe for banana nut bread. I love making it with bananas soon before they're ready to be thrown away. My boyfriend doesn't like nuts, so it tastes great without them as well. Easily doubled if you'd like to make more.

Provided by Abbey212

Categories     Breads

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons Crisco (or butter)
2 eggs
1 cup banana (mashed, add 1/2 cup more if you like)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup nuts (whichever kind you like)
1 3/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease a medium sized loaf pan for single recipe. Pour batter in pan and bang on counter a few times to release any air. Bake about 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Use overripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender loaf.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana nut bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple tips, you can make a loaf of banana nut bread that is moist, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
