Banana Walnut Bread ?!
Answers: Ok, this is a long shot, but here it goes. I had a recipe that the topping was butter, walnuts, and brown sugar put on the top before baking. This was the best recipe I ever had. Anyone know of this, there were specific ingredients that were in it, and I can't seem to find it on the internet.
Is this close?
Banana Bread with Streusel Topping
Ingredients:
Batter:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1? teaspoons baking powder
? teaspoon baking soda
? teaspoon salt
? teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1? cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
1 cup sugar
? cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
? cup toasted walnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped
Hint: Use very ripe bananas for a stronger banana flavor.
Streusel Topping:
? cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup walnuts or pecans, finely chopped, untoasted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour one 9x5 inch loaf pan. Or, lightly grease pan, then line with parchment paper.
Batter:
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine beaten eggs, mashed bananas, sugar, oil, and lemon zest; whisk together until well blended. Add flour mixture; stir just until blended (batter should be lumpy.) Stir in nuts.
Pour batter in the loaf pan. Set aside.
Streusel Topping:
In a small bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in nuts. Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over the batter.
Bake 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove pan from oven and let cool about 15 minutes. Grabbing the top edges of the parchment paper, lift bread from the loaf pan and place on wire rack to finish cooling. Remove parchment paper and discard.
Banana Walnut Bread
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for preparing the pan
1 cup sugar
3 very ripe bananas, peeled, and mashed with a fork (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup toasted walnut pieces
Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl, set aside. Whisk the eggs and vanilla together in a liquid measuring cup with a spout, set aside. Lightly brush a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan with butter. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with an electric hand-held mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the butter while mixing until incorporated. Add the bananas (the mixture will appear to be curdled, so don't worry), and remove the bowl from the mixer.
With a rubber spatula, mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the nuts and transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Turn the bread out of the pan and let cool completely on the rack. Wrap in plastic wrap. The banana bread is best if served the next day.
