MOIST AND DELICIOUS BANANA BREAD



Moist and Delicious Banana Bread image

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!

Categories     Recipes

Yield 1 Loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup (1 stick or 4 ounces) unsalted butter
½ cup (3 ¾ ounces) packed light or dark brown sugar
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups (~ 12 ounces) mashed ripe banana (3-4 medium to large bananas)
¼ cup (3 ounces) honey (I used sugar - works fine)
2 large eggs
2 cups (8 ounces) whole wheat flour, traditional or white whole wheat (I found that 2 cups was closer to 10 ounces - guess my whole wheat is heavy)
½ cups (2 ounces) chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
  • Beat together the butter, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the banana, honey and eggs, beating until smooth. Add the flour and nuts, stirring until smooth. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and let it rest at room temperature, uncovered for 10 minutes.
  • Bake the bread for 50 minutes. Lay a piece of foil gently across the top and bake until a cake tester (like a toothpick) inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes more. Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before turning it out of the pan onto a rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Use a variety of flours: Whole-grain flour, all-purpose flour, or even oat flour can be used to make banana bread. Mixing different types of flour can create a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Add nuts or raisins: Chopped walnuts, pecans, or raisins can add a nice crunch and sweetness to your banana bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake at the right temperature: Banana bread should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: Allow the banana bread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Whole grain banana bread is a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy a warm loaf of banana bread that's sure to please everyone.
