Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Breakfast Bread Recipes

Time 2h45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed overripe bananas
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons dark rum, or rum flavoring
½ teaspoon lime zest
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup chopped toasted pecans
¼ cup flaked coconut
¼ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 teaspoons dark rum, or rum flavoring
2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans
2 tablespoons flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
  • Beat together 2 tablespoons of softened butter and cream cheese in a large bowl until fluffy. Slowly beat in sugar until well incorporated. Add the egg and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. In a different bowl, mix together the bananas, milk, 2 tablespoons rum, lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla extract; stir well. Pour 1/3 of the flour mixture into the butter and mix well. Mix in 1/2 of the mashed bananas. Continue with another 1/3 of the flour, followed by the remaining banana mixture, and finally the remaining flour. Fold in 1/4 cup pecans and 1/4 cup coconut flakes.
  • Pour the mixture into the loaf pans, and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about one hour. When finished, cool for 10 minutes in the pan, remove, and finish cooling on a wire rack.
  • After you take the banana bread out of the oven, prepare the topping by stirring together the brown sugar, remaining butter, lime juice, and 2 teaspoons of rum in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer stirring constantly; cook until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about one minute. Remove from heat, and stir in 2 tablespoons pecans, and 2 tablespoons coconut. Spoon this topping over the loaves while they are still warm. The topping will harden slightly when the loaf cools.

WHOLE-BANANA BREAD



Whole-Banana Bread image

There are a lot of flavors beyond banana hanging out in this loaf: coconut, chocolate, tahini and almond extract. They get along so well that you end up with something that tastes notably better than almost any other banana bread you've had before. It's cocoa-rich, nutty and not too sweet. Using the whole fruit - both banana flesh and peel - punches up the banana flavor, but doesn't overshadow the other notes. Nadiya Hussain's recipe offers numerous substitutions; you could play up nutty notes by opting for almond butter and almond milk, or swap in olive oil in place of coconut oil. The recipe inspires infinite permutations.

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 (8-inch) loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup/100 grams virgin (unrefined) coconut oil, plus more for greasing the pan (see Tip)
2 ripe bananas
2 1/4 cups/280 grams all-purpose flour, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons for tossing peels
1/4 cup/64 grams tahini (or nut butter of your choice)
1/3 cup/80 milliliters oat milk, nut milk or dairy milk of your choice
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/3 cups/200 grams coconut palm or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup/20 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
Unsalted vegan or nonvegan butter (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pan with coconut oil and line it with parchment.
  • Wash the bananas then trim and discard the tips. Peel the bananas, then slice the peels crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Place them in a small bowl and toss with 1 1/2 teaspoons flour to coat; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, use a fork to smush the bananas into a rough purée. (Don't worry about small lumps.) Add the coconut oil, tahini, oat milk, almond and vanilla extracts, and salt. Beat together with a whisk to thoroughly incorporate and create a thick batter. Add the sugar and beat with the whisk to combine.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into the batter and fold it in using a rubber spatula until no streaks remain. Fold the floured banana peels into the batter.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top into an even layer. Bake for about 55 to 65 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then lift it out onto a baking rack using the parchment. Let it cool a bit, then serve warm with butter slathered on top, if using, or let it cool completely if you want to store it for later. (Wrapped tightly, the bread will keep at room temperature for about 4 days.)

Tips:

  • Use ripe 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.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A smaller pan will make your banana bread too thick and dense.
  • Bake the banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes. Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Banana bread is a classic quick bread that is easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and moist banana bread that everyone will love. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
