MARTHA STEWART'S BANANA NUT BREAD



Martha Stewart's Banana Nut Bread image

I have been searching a LONG time and making MANY loaves of banana bread trying to find a light and fluffy (not dense and heavy) bread, and I finally found it! I think the sour cream has a lot to do with it. I have made 3 loaves, 2 of which turned out perfect, 1 of which didn't - I tried to cut back on the sugar and that must have been the problem. From now on I will follow the recipe exactly. I have not made it with the addition of the nuts yet. Don't be alarmed - the outside gets dark, but the inside is very moist. I use a 10" loaf pan and it bakes for exactly 50 minutes. BEWARE: The loaf will quickly disappear!

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 result in a tough, dense loaf of banana bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will result in a loaf of banana bread that is too thick and dense. Do not use a larger loaf pan or your bread will be too thin.
  • Bake the banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55-65 minutes: The banana bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help the bread to set and keep its shape.
