Best Banana Bread
5 T. butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 large egg
2 egg whites
1 t. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups mashed, ripe bananas
1 3/4 cups flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. baking powder
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bottom of 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Beat butter in large bowl with an electric mixer set at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat well. Add egg, egg whites and vanilla; beat until well blended. Add mashed bananas and beat on high speed 30 seconds.
Combine flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder in medium bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with cream, ending with flour mixture. Add walnuts to batter; mix well.
Pour batter evenly into prepared loaf pan. Bake until browned and toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Cool bread in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove bread from pan; cool completely on wire rack.
Here's the one I use:
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed very ripe bananas (3 to 4 medium)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts or 1 cup of blueberries, if desired
1. Move oven rack to low position so that tops of pans will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms only of 2 loaf pans, 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2 inches, or 1 loaf pan, 9x5x3 inches.
2. Mix sugar and butter in large bowl. Stir in eggs until well blended. Add bananas, buttermilk and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt just until moistened. Stir in nuts (or blueberries or both for a nice twist). Pour into pans.
3. Bake 8-inch loaves about 1 hour, 9-inch loaf about 1 1/4 hours, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans and place top side up on wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days.
well im 15 and a really good cook, im always in teh kitchen baking and cooking for my family because i love it, and i made this recipe for banana bread which is AWESOMEE..i always make it for my nana :P
"For My Nana" Banana Bread
1 1/4 c. flour (3/4 unbleached all-purpose flour, 2/4 cake flour)
1/2 c. oats (Quaker- not instant)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs (cold)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c. unsalted butter (or salted, whatever you have handy)
1/2 c. sugar
(about) 1 tbsp honey
3 VERY RIPE bananas peeled
1/2 c. walnuts (or however much desired, chopped + halved)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, place cookie sheet on the middle rack of the oven for the bread tin to be placed on for baking.
In and medium bowl add all the flour, baking soda, salt and oats, stir together and set aside. Then, in a smaller bowl beat the eggs and the vanila together and set aside. Then get out an electric hand mixer, and in another large bowl add your butter and your sugar together and beat until light color and "fluffy" (very important that butter is cold as well as the eggs before mixing). Once thats done pour in the egg mixture and beat again for a couple minutes to throughly incorporate the ingredients. Once its beaten good enough, just plop all three bananas in the bowl (just break them in half with your hands), and beat again until they are broken up into pieces. Then with a rubber spatula fold in/ mix in the flour mixture until everything is moistened (DO NOT OVER MIX OR YOUR BREAD WILL BE TOUGH AND DRY), then at the las tminutes add in the desired amount of walnuts and set batter aside. You will then need to spray a 9x5x3 in. loaf pan with Pam, and then cut out parchment paper that will exactly fit the sides and bottom of the pan. Then stick the pieces in and LIGHTY spray the paper on all the sides and bottom with Pam and then pour in the whole bowl of batter, scraping it clean!
*If you'd like you can also sprinkle some nuts on top of the bread before baking too!
...and once the batter is all in the pan, place it in the oven on the cookie sheet and bake for around 45-55 minutes. (your oven might be different so watch it when the time get close). When it is done, check it with a tooth pick, sticking it in teh MIDDLE of the bread and if it comes out clean its done. Take it out of the oven and leave it in the pan still to cool on a wire rack for abuot 10-15 minutes. After that time you can remove the bread from the pan and remember to take off the parchment paper fore the remainder of cooling and eating haha!
REMEMBER: DO NOT EVER OPEN THE OVEN WHILE BAKING!!!!! (this will cause air to get in and the bread will not rise as much)
please try this recipe, I would love to hear how my recipe worked out for someone else! Really though its a great one, you'r gonna love it, I've made it countlessss times :D
