In my opinion, this is the absolute best banana bread out there. I got it through a mail order recipe club called "Grandma's Kitchen". It is so easy to make, and it seems like everyone always has some ripening bananas that they're trying to get rid of!

Okay I know that I am prejudiced but this is my mother's recipe for banana bread and I think it is the best banana bread in the world. It uses instant milk powder, something I have never seen in any other banana bread recipes. I am adding this to the large group of recipes on Zaar to keep this safe and in the family.

Provided by David Guas

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 2h25m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 very ripe bananas (about 1 lb.)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/4 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Sift together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Mash bananas with lemon juice in a small bowl. (You want a little texture-like semi-lumpy mashed potatoes.)
  • Beat butter and next 3 ingredients at low speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer 1 minute or until combined. Increase speed to medium, and beat 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition, stopping to scrape bowl as needed.
  • Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Add banana mixture, beating just until batter is blended (no more than 10 seconds). Pour batter into a well-buttered and floured 8- x 4-inch loaf pan, and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350° for 55 to 60 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan to a wire rack, and cool 50 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap (it will still be warm-this helps the bread stay moist), and store at room temperature up to 4 days.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Use room-temperature ingredients. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender loaf of banana bread.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can result in a tough loaf of banana bread.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
