QUICK & EASY BANANA NUT BREAD



Quick & Easy Banana Nut Bread image

This is a good quick bread that I have made since 1967 when I was a newly wed. I had never had homemade quick breads before that time and an Army Wife introduced me to them and the rest is history. I always wait until my bananas are heavily speckled so they are soft and sweet. Great for breakfast or as a dessert, this bread...

GRANNY'S BANANA NUT BREAD - EASY!



Granny's Banana Nut Bread - easy! image

My brothers & I used to argue over who would get the last piece of this bread, it was soo good. If you butter a slice & put it under the broiler or in the microwave, just until the butter melts, (unless you like it crispy) it is so good!

Provided by Alyson Newton

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 c shortening, butter flavor
3/4 c sugar or splenda
2 c flour (i use 1/2 wheat & 1/2 cake flour)
2 eggs (or egg beaters with yolk)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c buttermilk
1/2-3/4 c nuts broken in pcs. (i use pecans)
1/2 tsp almond extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheit. Using Pam, spray a loaf pan, or you can make a smaller version in a bundt pan (it's cute). Get large bowl & cream the sugar and shortening until blended well. In a small bowl, mash together the sliced up bananas & eggs. (Break the yoke if using real eggs and mix them a little before adding to the bananas). Pour the egg mixure in the sugar/shortening mix and blend well.
  • 2. In medium bowl stir dry ingredients together. Stir in the flour & buttermilk alternately, to the banana mixture, until blended. Stir in desired amount of nuts. Pour into pregreased loaf (or bundt) pan & bake in preheated oven, until toothpick comes out clean.
  • 3. My grandmother said to cook it 55 minutes, but I've found often it doesn't take that long. It's better to start checking it after 30 minutes, to avoid drying it out. I take it out as soon as the toothpick comes out clean, and let it cool on a thick straw coaster on the counter. After @ 15-20 minutes it'll still melt butter, so dig in and enjoy! :) You can also play around with spices or some ingreds, I added a cup of coconut & some ginger last time I made it & doubled the recipe to fill a bundt pan & it was really good, so don't be afraid to try new things, or sizes with it! The single recipe makes a cute little round breakfast type cake, in a bundt pan, to have with coffee too.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana nut bread will be.
  • Use a combination of nuts: This will give your bread a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include walnuts, pecans, almonds, and hazelnuts.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread at a moderate temperature: This will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from overcooking.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana nut bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up ripe bananas. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy a warm slice of banana nut bread that is sure to please everyone.
