Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter ((softened) - 115 grams)
2 Eggs ((large))
3 Bananas ((ripe & large sized) - 345 grams - Roughly 1 1/2 cups of mashed bananas)
2 Cups Flour ((all purpose flour) - 240 grams)
1 Cup White Granulated Sugar (- 200 grams)
1 Cup Chopped Walnuts (- 115 grams - 3/4 cup for inside the batter and 1/4 cup sprinkled on top of the batter)
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract (- 5 milliliters)
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda (- 5 milliliters)
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder ((aluminum free) - 5 milliliters)
1/2 Teaspoon Salt (- 2.5 milliliters)

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 (except the chopped walnuts). Stir until the batter is fully mixed.
  • Add 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts to the batter (and save the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts for later). Make sure the chopped walnuts are evenly spread throughout the batter.
  • Pour finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts on top of the batter before placing into the oven.
  • Bake in the oven for 65-70 minutes.
  • 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.

BANANA BREAD WITH PECANS

Categories     dessert

Time 2h50m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 overripe bananas
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together for a good 3 minutes; you want a light and fluffy banana cream. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat well and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated; no need to overly blend. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a good rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
  • Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Don't get nervous if the banana bread develops a crack down the center of the loaf; that's no mistake, it's typical. Rotate the pan periodically to ensure even browning.
  • Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes or so, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Toast the slices of banana bread, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.

DAD'S FAMOUS BANANA BREAD



Dad's Famous Banana Bread image

By far one of the best banana breads I have ever had! Simple but well worth it! My dad will always make at least once a month. I've made a few changes from my dad's recipe by adding chocolate chips and some chopped nuts. This makes the banana bread even better, still great without those two items though. With any banana bread, make sure your bananas are over ripe or really bruised...this makes for the best bread. So the next time your bananas go bad, make some banana bread or freeze them for later. =)
