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

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.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. You can use any type of banana, but overripe bananas will give you the best results.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making your banana bread light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients: Do not overmix the batter, as this can make your banana bread tough.
  • Bake the banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes: or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make the best banana bread you've ever tasted. So next time you have a few ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
