Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup (125g) butter (room temperature)
1 cup (200g) sugar
2 eggs
6 bananas (350g) very soft bananas (mashed)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (250g) flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC/350°F and grease and line a standard size loaf tin (approximatley 20cmx12cm / 9" x 5") with baking paper.
  • In the bowl of a mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
  • Beat in the bananas. At this point, your batter will split and look curdled. Don't be alarmed, the flour will fix that.
  • Add the dry ingredients then mix until just combined.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf tin and place in the oven.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cover with foil halfway to prevent over browning.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool before removing the banana bread from the tin.
  • Slice and serve.

Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ cup shortening
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 very ripe banana, mashed
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup cold butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour 8x4 inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk together flour, sugar, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add the banana, and mix well. Fold the flour mixture into the banana mixture until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Prepare the crumb topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Spoon the crumb mixture over the batter.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and bake until a toothpick inserted in center of the loaf comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Cool in pan 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Prep Work: Before you start baking, make sure all your ingredients are measured and ready to go. This will ensure the baking process runs smoothly and efficiently.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best results, make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing them together. This will allow them to combine more easily and create a smooth batter.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to a tough and dense loaf of banana bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
  • Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Look for bananas with dark yellow peels and brown spots.
  • Don't Crowd the Loaf Pan: When pouring the batter into the loaf pan, make sure not to fill it all the way to the top. Leave about an inch of space at the top to allow the bread to rise during baking.
  • Bake in a Preheated Oven: Always preheat your oven before baking the banana bread. This will help ensure the bread bakes evenly and properly.

Conclusion:

With its moist, flavorful texture and delectable crumb topping, this classic banana bread recipe is a treat that everyone will love. Whether you're baking for a special occasion or just want a delicious snack, this recipe is sure to satisfy. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to bake a loaf of banana bread that will disappear in no time!
