Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour or gluten free flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed bananas (about 3)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (1/2 stick)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 9"x5" loaf pan. Set aside.
  • Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs. Stir to combine.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together. Add to butter mixture along with sour cream, bananas, and vanilla. Stir together until completely combined. Fold in nuts.Note: If you want to make this a gluten free recipe, it works beautifully just by substituting the same amount of gluten free flour instead of the all purpose flour and adding 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum. I used my homemade gluten free flour blend recipe from my blog.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let cool.
  • Mix together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Frost cooled banana bread. Slice and serve.

GRANDMA'S BANANA BREAD (AMAZING)



Grandma's Banana Bread (Amazing) image

This is one of those recipes that is so simple yet so amazingly good, that you keep thinking there has to be more to it. It's hard to mess up sweet breads like this, but this is the best of the best. There is something magic in its simple ingredients, and when I experiment with it, I always find I still like the original...

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 c butter
1 c sugar (i've tried brown (love brown), and it works, but white is best in this recipe. it lets the other favors shine)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 c (takes about 3) over ripe bananas, mashed
2 c flour
1/2 c nuts, optional (i like pecans)

Steps:

  • 1. Cream butter, sugar & eggs. Add salt & baking soda; mix well. Beat in the bananas. Add the flour. Stir in nuts if using.
  • 2. Pour into a LARGE buttered loaf pan (mine measures 4 1/4" x 8 1/4" on the bottom, 5 1/2" x 9 1/2" on the top, 2 3/4" tall.) If pan is not big enough, it will not cook all the way in the center. If you have a smaller pan, don't use all the batter in one pan. The recipe says to let sit at room temp. For 20 min. I never do.
  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 45- 60 min., until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 5-10 minutes before loosening sides and inverting, letting it cool the rest of the way on a cooling rack.
  • 4. Great out of the oven, even better the next day, if it doesn't get eaten first! Wrap up after it cools completely to keep it moist.

GREAT GRANNY'S BANANA BREAD

This is hands down my favorite banana bread recipe and I'm posting it here for safe keeping. I got the recipe off the Cooking Light website and they give credit to Kathleen Daeleman and her book "Cooking Thin With Chef Kathleen". This bread isn't too sweet and I love the texture. If your using a darker baking pan, check the bread at about 1 hour.

THE BEST BANANA BREAD



The Best Banana Bread image

We have a lot of requirements when it comes to banana bread and we finally created a recipe that ticks all the boxes. It's moist, tender, a little tangy and perfectly sweet-all around our favorite one. The best part is that it's even better the next day (if it lasts that long). Try toasting the bread and slathering with a little salted butter. We're pretty sure you'll never need another banana bread recipe.

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil, plus more for greasing pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk, sour cream or yogurt
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 soft, very ripe, darkly speckled medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
  • Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
