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!

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar, plus more as needed
1 large egg
2 cups ripe banana, (about 4 large bananas)
½ cup full fat sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup dark chocolate chunk
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

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!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough and dense.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes before baking: This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will also help to prevent your banana bread from being tough.
  • Bake the banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana bread is a classic quick bread that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
