Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter ((softened))
2 Eggs ((large))
3 Bananas ((ripe & large sized))
2 Cups Flour ((all purpose flour))
1 Cup White Granulated Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder ((aluminum free))
1/2 Teaspoon Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Mash bananas with a fork.
  • Soften butter in a microwave.
  • Stir eggs, bananas and butter together.
  • Mix in remaining ingredients. Stir until the batter is fully mixed.
  • Optional - If you want to enhance this easy "basic" banana bread, you can stir in 1 cup of your family's favorite dessert ingredient (i.e. chocolate chips or chopped walnuts) after you have mixed the batter.
  • Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
  • Bake in the oven for 65-70 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Take out of oven and let the banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
  • After 10 minutes, remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the banana bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.

BEST & EASIEST BANANA BREAD



Best & Easiest Banana Bread image

This is an incredibly moist and simple to make banana bread that takes literally five minutes to throw together. And it's low fat! This recipe is pretty much foolproof so feel free to play around and improvise. If you really want to reduce the fat you can substitute applesauce for the butter. I adapted this recipe from one printed in "Cookie Magazine" (March 2006). The original recipe is called "Aunt Holly's Banana Bread". Enjoy! :-)
