Banana bread
Banana bread. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. This is a very moist banana bread with lots of banana flavor. There is a bit of spice for those who like a bit of 'extra' in their banana bread. Cook Banana bread using 13 ingredients and 8 steps easily.
Ingredients
-
3 of ripe bananas (black or spotty)
-
of Pecans (optional)
-
8 tbs of butter (1stick, 1/2 cup)
-
1/2 cup of sugar
-
1/2 cup of brown sugar
-
1 tsp of vanilla
-
2 of eggs
-
1/2 tsp of nutmeg
-
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
-
2 cups of flour
-
1 tsp of baking powder
-
1 tsp of baking soda
-
1/4 tsp of salt
Steps
- Ripen bananas (if needed, 325F, for 15-20minutes, they will be spotty or black, or if using previously frozen bananas, just thaw and they will ripen)
- Grease/butter loaf pan. (I use bakers goop, recipe in page)
- Cream sugars, butter. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla. (In mix bowl)
- In separate bowl mash bananas.
- In a 3rd bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt with a whisk or fork.
- Add banana mixture into butter in the mixer.
- Add dry ingredients, do not over mix.
- Bake on 300F for 25 minutes (mini loaf) —35 minutes (medium loaf) —1 hr 10 minutes (full size loaf)
In another bowl, combine the eggs, bananas, oil, buttermilk and vanilla; add to flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. There are several possible explanations behind this. You may have added too much or too little baking soda, or maybe your baking soda has already gone bad. Baking is an exact science, so little mishaps like this could be detrimental to your bread!
