Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour or gluten free flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed bananas (about 3)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (1/2 stick)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 9"x5" loaf pan. Set aside.
  • Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs. Stir to combine.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together. Add to butter mixture along with sour cream, bananas, and vanilla. Stir together until completely combined. Fold in nuts.Note: If you want to make this a gluten free recipe, it works beautifully just by substituting the same amount of gluten free flour instead of the all purpose flour and adding 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum. I used my homemade gluten free flour blend recipe from my blog.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let cool.
  • Mix together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Frost cooled banana bread. Slice and serve.

GRANDMA'S BEST EVER BANANA NUT BREAD



Grandma's Best Ever Banana Nut Bread image

This is dark, rich and moist. It is sweet and flavorful and I am told unlike any other people have tasted. Some liken it Mimi's Cafe, but say it is better. My mother, Belen, who passed away at the age of 100 had been making this for as long as I can remember. Please follow the instructions regarding putting the vinegar in the milk in one cup and the baking soda in warm water in another before mixing it with other ingredients. It makes a difference.

GRANDMA'S BANANA BREAD



Grandma's Banana Bread image

This bread recipe was from my husband's grandmother. It is so simple to make and always comes out great. The original recipe did not have the vanilla in it, but I always add it. If I have bananas that are ripe, but I am not ready to make the bread, I just plop them in the freezer, peel and all. No need to put in a bag. They will turn black, but the insides will remain good and will be perfect for the bread. Just remove from the freezer, peel and add to the mixture.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 Tablespoons shortening or butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs beaten
3 Tablespoons sour milk
2 Cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 large overripe bananas mashed
Walnuts if desired

Steps:

  • Mix first four ingredients together. In a separate bowl mix the flour and baking soda. Add flour mixture to first ingredients. Add bananas mixing well after each one. Add nutmeats. Pour into loaf pan and bake @ 350 for about 1 hour. Variation: Layer batter with fresh cooked cranberries (per directions on bag for cranberry sauce) in 2 tall sized empty green bean cans. Be sure to spray them with Pam first.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Mash the bananas thoroughly: This will help to ensure that the banana bread is smooth and moist.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to create a tender and crumbly texture.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the banana bread tough.
  • Bake the banana bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the banana bread is cooked through.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the banana bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a warm and comforting loaf of banana bread that is sure to please everyone.
