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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Overripe bananas will work best for soft banana bread.
  • Mash the bananas well: For a smooth and even texture, mash the bananas until they are completely smooth.
  • Use a good quality butter: Butter adds richness and flavor to banana bread. Opt for unsalted butter and let it come to room temperature before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough and dense banana bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the banana bread at the right temperature: The ideal oven temperature for banana bread is 350°F (175°C). This will help ensure that the bread bakes evenly without burning.
  • Check the banana bread for doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the banana bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the banana bread cool before slicing: Allow the banana bread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help prevent it from crumbling.

With its moist, flavorful texture and sweet banana flavor, banana bread is a classic treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
