GOLD MEDAL FLOUR'S BEST-EVER BANANA BREAD
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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the long sides so it will be easy to lift out the bread, and spray again.
- Add the butter to a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns amber brown and smells nutty, about 3-4 minutes. Watch carefully so the butter does not burn. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Add cooled brown butter and brown sugar to a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until evenly combined, about 1 minute. Add the egg and beat until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla and mix with a rubber spatula until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and banana mixture to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour and folding with a rubber spatula between each addition until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth with an offset spatula, then sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top.
- Bake the banana bread until golden brown and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes. Set the loaf pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour, then lift out the banana bread and slice.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan. Dust the pan with flour, tapping out the excess.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter, olive oil, and sugar at low speed. Increase the speed to medium and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the mashed banana. Add the flour mixture and mix just until combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake the cake for 55 to 60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Unmold the cake and cool completely on the rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, 1 week refrigerated, or 2 months frozen.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
- Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth. This will help to create a moist and tender bread.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for banana bread is 350°F (175°C). This will help to ensure that the bread bakes evenly and doesn't burn.
- Let the bread cool before slicing: Allow the bread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its moist and tender texture, sweet banana flavor, and nutty streusel topping, this classic recipe is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
