Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
3 medium/large ripe bananas, peeled and mashed (about 1 1/2 cups when mashed)
2 tablespoons creme fraiche or sour cream (Greek yogurt may be substituted; I used lite sour cream)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Spray two 8×4-inch loaf pans with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pans; set aside.
  • To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large mixing bowl and electric mixer) add the eggs, sugar, and beat on medium-high speed until smooth, well-combined, and mixture is golden yellow in color, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and with the mixer running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the oil. Don't dump it all in at once. Beat at medium speed until incorporated, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the bananas, sour cream, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until combined, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute.
  • Turn batter out into prepared pans, smoothing the tops lightly with a spatula if necessary, and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes (I baked 37 minutes), or until tops are domed, set, a toothpick inserted in the center crack comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no batter. Optionally, in the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking, tent pans with foil (loosely drape a sheet of foil over pans) to prevent excessive browning on the top and sides of bread before center cooks through.
  • Remove pans from oven and allow to them to cool on top of a wire rack for about 15 to 30 minutes before turning out onto rack to cool completely.

GOLD MEDAL FLOUR'S BEST-EVER BANANA BREAD



Gold Medal Flour's Best-Ever Banana Bread image

The recipe is not mine. It's from a bag of Gold Medal Flour, so if you don't care for it...that's o.k. It certainly has what it takes to make it a keeper for me, though. No muss. No fuss. It's light, moist, and makes two perfect 8 X 4 loaf pans. Takes about an hour to bake. P.S. It needs an added banana to really enhance the flavor, though.

Tips:

  • Use overripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your banana bread tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: If you use a smaller pan, your banana bread will be too thick and may not cook evenly.
  • Bake the banana bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: If the toothpick comes out clean, the banana bread is overcooked.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help it to hold its shape and flavor.

Conclusion:

Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a banana bread recipe that everyone will love. So next time you have some overripe bananas on hand, be sure to give one of these recipes a try.
