PRIZE WINNING BANANA NUT BREAD

I have won ribbons with this recipe which I received from my grandmother. The only thing I do that is different from my grandmothers is I just throw the bananas in the freezer whole and unpeeled. Then I let them thaw and squeeze them into the batter when the recipe calls for them. I think that is the secret to the moist, denseness that my banana bread has. This bread CAN NOT be doubled. I know because I have tried 3 times and the bread won't rise. Cool COMPLETELY on a rack before wrapping and refrigerating. Or it will be icky and sticky in the middle. Enjoy!

Categories     Bread     Fruit     Breakfast     Bake     Easter     Kid-Friendly

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c sugar
2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
1 c crushed pecans
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 stick soft margarine or butter
1 egg
1/4 c buttermilk
4 crushed overripe bananas
1 c oatmeal

Steps:

  • Mix all dry ingredients in large mixing bowl except oatmeal, add bananas, mix, add margarine/butter, mix. Add egg, buttermilk, oatmeal and mix. Pour into medium loaf pan, sprinkle a few pecans on top. Bake at 350degrees for at least 1 hour. Cool. (Optional, glaze with a powdered sugar drizzle.)

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender bread.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract: These ingredients will add flavor and moisture to the bread.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt: This will help to evenly distribute the dry ingredients throughout the batter.
  • Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy.
  • Fold in the chopped walnuts: These will add a crunchy texture to the bread.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan: This will help to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely: This will help to prevent the bread from falling apart.
