AUNT CARRIE'S BANANA BREAD



Aunt Carrie's Banana Bread image

This not "just another" banana bread. I've made it time and time again throughout the years. It's from an old and yellowed recipe clipping (50 plus years old) from my local newspaper that my great aunt had written her own success notes beside. My aunt was a caterer, and she writes that this banana bread was her most requested treat for her teas and luncheons.

Aunt Holly's Banana Bread has no nuts, but it's loaded with chocolatey chips.

Categories     Chocolate     Fruit     Breakfast     Brunch     Bake     Christmas     Kid-Friendly     Banana     Winter     Edible Gift     Cookie     Small Plates

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 to 4 ripe bananas
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon baking soda
Chocolate chips (as many as you want!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Mash the bananas in a bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients and mix well with a wooden spoon. Bake in a buttered loaf pan until a toothpick stuck into the bread comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Slice and serve.

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. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan with a lid: This will help to create a moist and evenly-baked banana bread.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and versatile flavor, banana bread is a perfect snack, dessert, or breakfast food. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a novice in the kitchen, you're sure to find a banana bread recipe that you'll love.
