Best Mark Bittmans Banana Bread Recipes
MARK BITTMAN'S BANANA BREAD
I found this recipe online, and I was surprised that it had not been posted here. I usually double this recipe and freeze one loaf. I have many banana bread recipes, but Mark Bittman has deemed this one "the ultimate."

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9″x5″ loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flours, salt, and baking powder; set aside.
- With an electric mixer, cream the butter with the sugar, then slowly beat in the eggs, bananas, and vanilla.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat just until combined (do not mix it up too much), being sure to scrape down the edges of the bowl a few times. Gently fold in the chocolate chips (if using).
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45 to 60 minutes (mine takes about 55 minutes), until nicely browned.
- A toothpick inserted into the center of the bread will come out fairly clean when it is done, but because of the bananas this bread will remain moister than most.
- Cool on a rack for 15 minutes before removing from the pan.
MARK BITTMAN'S BANANA BREAD
This banana bread from Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything" is really something special. One-fourth of the flour is whole wheat, which contributes a kind of depth you'd miss if it weren't there. There are walnuts - not unusual, but again, you'd miss them if they weren't there, And the key, secret ingredient, is coconut. Which really puts the thing over the top.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix together the dry ingredients. With a hand mixer, a whisk, or in the food processor, cream the butter and beat in the eggs and bananas. Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients; stir just enough to combine (it's okay if there are lumps). Gently stir in the vanilla, nuts, and coconut.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until nicely browned. A toothpick inserted into the center of the bread will come out fairly clean when it is done, but because of the bananas this bread will remain moister than most. Do not overcook. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes before removing from the pan.

BITTMAN'S BANANA MUFFINS
Got this from a video on NYT.com. Mark Bittman really stressed minimizing the stirring to keep the muffins' texture light (rather than like sawdust). I used white whole wheat flour rather than pastry milled, folded the barest minimum, and then put the rather crumbly "batter" in the tins by briefly molded handfuls rather than with a spoon. Sure got some glowing reviews from the family.
