DAD'S FAMOUS BANANA BREAD



Dad's Famous Banana Bread image

By far one of the best banana breads I have ever had! Simple but well worth it! My dad will always make at least once a month. I've made a few changes from my dad's recipe by adding chocolate chips and some chopped nuts. This makes the banana bread even better, still great without those two items though. With any banana bread, make sure your bananas are over ripe or really bruised...this makes for the best bread. So the next time your bananas go bad, make some banana bread or freeze them for later. =)

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana nut 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 of bread. - Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling. - Fold in the dry ingredients gradually: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread. - Add the nuts last: This will help to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf. - Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Check the bread for doneness after 45 minutes and cover it with foil if it is browning too quickly. - Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Dad's banana nut bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or snack. With its moist crumb, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy walnuts, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
