Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 ripe bananas (mashed should be about 1 ¼ cups (anywhere from 1 to 1 ½ cups will work))
3/4 cup granulated sugar (can use a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar (see post))
2 large eggs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
1/3 cup sour cream (plain Greek yogurt can be used instead)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray with nonstick cooking spray or grease and flour the bottom and sides of an 8½ x 4½ inch loaf pan. (Can also butter pan and sprinkle with sugar or a combination of sugar and cinnamon.) Set aside.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Mash bananas in a large bowl using a potato masher, fork, or a mixer. There can be some small chunks remaining, it doesn't have to be completely smooth.
  • Whisk in sugar, eggs, melted butter, sour cream and vanilla extract.

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!

MOIST & DELICIOUS BANANA NUT BREAD



Moist & Delicious Banana Nut Bread image

I got this recipe when I was 12 and have used it for the past 33 years and haven't found one better! My son used it when he was 12 at the California State Fair and won a first place ribbon with it. It is just simply delicious & moist. I either make a loaf or put it into muffin cups & make muffins for my kids to grab in the morning on their way to school. Using margarine makes the muffins come out in a better form, but the butter has a better flavor, so I usually use 1/2 of each to get the best of both worlds.

Time 1h20m

Yield 18 muffins, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs (beaten)
3 ripe bananas, smashed (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup milk
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2-1 cup chopped pecans (optional) or 1/2-1 cup walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Cream butter & sugar. Add vanilla & eggs. Combine dry ingredients, add alternately with bananas & milk. Add nuts if desired. Grease & flour 1 bread pan (2-3 smaller pans) or pour into muffin cups. For loaf bake at 350 for 45-60 minute Muffins 350 for 20-25min. Enjoy!
  • *Note- I usually use a smaller bread pan to make the 2 loaves, or use a larger one and just make 1 big loaf, but it will need to bake longer. I adjusted the time because people had been saying it was over baking, now people are saying it's under baked. I would use the old fashion test of a tooth pick at 45 min, then at 1 hour -- up to 1 hour & 30 min if needed. Hope that helps!

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium overripe bananas (mashed)
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup melted butter (unsalted butter)
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract (not imitation)
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup
sour cream
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • While your oven is heating, grease a loaf pan (9×5-inch).
  • Using a large bowl, mix the sugar and butter together. Add the vanilla extract, eggs, and lemon juice to the mixture and mix together well.
  • In another bowl, combine the baking soda, flour, salt, and baking powder. Using a whisk, mix it together thoroughly.
  • Add dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well until smooth. Do not overmix.
  • Mash your bananas with a potato masher or fork. You can also use a hand mixer if you want your bananas to be extra smooth, but don't overmix them.
  • Fold the bananas, walnuts, and sour cream (the banana mixture) into the other mixture. Gently fold it in without overmixing.
  • Spread the mixture into your greased loaf pan.
  • Bake your banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55-60 minutes. Use the toothpick test to see if it comes out clean after being inserted into the center of the loaf. That's how you know your banana bread is done.
  • When your toothpick is clean, open the oven door and turn off the oven. Allow the banana bread to sit in the oven with the oven door open for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove your banana bread from the oven. Allow it to cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan.
  • Place the banana bread on a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making it lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients gradually: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan that has been greased and floured: This will help to prevent the bread from sticking.
  • Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center: If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful texture, banana bread is a favorite of people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast, a tasty snack, or a special dessert, banana bread is a great choice. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give one of these recipes a try!
