THE BEST BANANA BREAD



The Best Banana Bread image

We have a lot of requirements when it comes to banana bread and we finally created a recipe that ticks all the boxes. It's moist, tender, a little tangy and perfectly sweet-all around our favorite one. The best part is that it's even better the next day (if it lasts that long). Try toasting the bread and slathering with a little salted butter. We're pretty sure you'll never need another banana bread recipe.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil, plus more for greasing pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk, sour cream or yogurt
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 soft, very ripe, darkly speckled medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
  • Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

THE BEST BANANA BREAD



The Best Banana Bread image

This is one of the recipes I am known for. Super moist and super yummy. I have tried many over the years and always come back to this. I often give it as a gift around the holidays. Just may be the last banana bread recipe you ever try! Can also make 3 mini-loaves

Provided by Tracy H.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h25m

Yield 1-2 loaves, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 bananas, blackened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup mini chocolate chip

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar (by hand or mixer).
  • Mash bananas and add by hand to creamed mixture.
  • By hand add eggs, vanilla, baking soda, flour and salt.
  • Gently stir in buttermilk and chocolate chips.
  • Pour into a greased loaf pan.
  • Bake at 350°F for 1 1/4 hour or until it tests done with a toothpick.
  • **I find that coarsely mashing bananas is best and make sure they are over ripe for best flavor.
  • I also find that doing the majority of the mixing by hand makes for better texture in the end.
  • **Even though the recipe says it makes 1 loaf, I usually use 2 loaf pans or 3 mini loaf pans because it seems to yield a moister bread.
  • Just adjust baking time down.
  • **if you do not have buttermilk you can put 1 teaspoons vinegar into a 1/2 cup measuring cup and fill to top with milk.
  • Let rest 5 minutes before adding to recipe.
  • **This freezes well.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear for a few days.
  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are smooth and creamy. This will help to ensure that the bread is evenly mixed and has a smooth texture.
  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor to the bread and helps to make it moist and tender. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined and then stop.
  • Bake the bread at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking banana bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake the bread at a higher temperature, it will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If you bake the bread at a lower temperature, it will take longer to cook and the texture will be denser.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk banana bread is a classic recipe that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist and tender crumb, sweet banana flavor, and tangy buttermilk tang, this bread is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
