LORILOU'S QUICK N EASY BANANA BREAD



Lorilou's Quick N Easy Banana Bread image

A super easy, tried and true banana bread. No mixer required! Been making this for as long as I can remember. And now that I have bananas literally growing outside my front door, it's the most frequently made recipe in my house! It's equally good as a loaf or as banana muffins. The original recipe is by Anita Strauss, La Jolla, but I have changed it up to my taste. You can add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans if you like nuts in your banana bread - I don't! This is a very versatile and forgiving recipe. Try adding crushed pineapple, coconut, raisins, craisins, chocolate chips, etc... You won't be sorry!

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ cups mashed bananas
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
2 ⅓ cups baking mix
1 cup white sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease the bottom of a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
  • Measure oil, bananas, vanilla, eggs, baking mix, sugar, and nuts into a large bowl. Beat vigorously with a spoon for about 30 seconds. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. Look for bananas with yellow skin that is mostly covered in brown spots.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is the right size: A 9x5-inch loaf pan is the ideal size for this recipe. If you use a smaller pan, your bread will be too thick and may not cook evenly.
  • Bake the bread at the correct temperature: The correct temperature for baking banana nut bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake it at a higher temperature, the bread will brown too quickly and may not cook through in the center.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This banana nut bread recipe is simple, easy, and delicious. It's the perfect way to use up ripe bananas and makes a great snack or treat. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect loaf of banana nut bread every time. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try!
