Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups well-mashed overripe bananas (this is usually 3 large ripe bananas for me (355ml/385g))
¼ cup canola or vegetable oil ((60ml))
¼ cup unsalted butter (melted (60g))
⅔ cup light or dark brown sugar (firmly packed (135g))
½ cup granulated sugar ((100g))
2 large eggs (lightly beaten, room temperature preferred)
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ cup buttermilk ((60ml¹))
2 cups all-purpose (plain flour (250g))
¾ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional²)
¼ cup coarse or granulated sugar for sprinkling (optional (50g))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and grease the bottom and ½" up the sides of a 9x5" bread pan. Set aside.
  • Combine mashed bananas, canola oil, and melted butter in a large bowl and stir until well-combined.
  • Add sugars and stir well.
  • Stir in eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Add buttermilk and stir until thoroughly combined.
  • In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet and carefully, gently using a spatula (not an electric mixer) fold ingredients together until just combined. Don't overmix the batter or your banana cake could end up dense/dry. If adding nuts/chocolate chips, stir them in here.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and, if desired, sprinkle generously with coarse sugar.
  • Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted all the way into the center of the cake comes out clean or preferably with a few moist crumbs. Do not over-bake your banana bread or it will be dry.

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.

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons butter
10 tablespoons dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 cup chopped pecans (or more, toasted)
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
4 very ripe bananas, mashed (or 1 3/4 c, the bananas have to be so ripe that they're nearly black!)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (I add 1 tblsp)
4 tablespoons buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda (I also add 3/4 tsp baking powder)
1 teaspoon salt

SIMPLY THE BEST ABOVE ALL THE REST BANANA BREAD



Simply the Best Above All the Rest Banana Bread image

My mother used to make this banana bread for us often. I have fond memories of waking up in the morning to smelling mom's homemade banana bread baking in the oven on a cold rainy day...AHHHH!!! She would cut off a big slice and place it on a napkin and off to school I went with a WARM piece of mom's LOVING homemade Banana Bread! I seached here to see if anyone else had the same recipe and I noticed that my mom's recipe has one ingredient different from everyone elses and I think it is the secret ingredient why my mom's recipe is Simply the Best Above All the Rest Banana Bread! Here is the recipe In Loving Memory of My Mother who passed away May 31, 2009...Mom I Love you thanks for the fond memories!!!

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 loaf, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup banana (usually 3 medium)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350% and grease a loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl cream together the Shortening and sugar. Then add in the eggs and mix. Now add in your mashed up bananas(the blacker the skin on the bananas the sweeter the bananas will be) and add the Vanilla.
  • Now mix in the flour, baking soda and salt.
  • You do not need a hand mixer mix everything with a spoon.
  • Pour the batter in the greased loaf pan and place in the oven for 1 hour or 45 minutes depending on how hot your oven gets. Test the middle with a toothpick. You should have no batter on the toothpick that means its done.
  • SPECIAL NOTE: Make sure your bananas are over ripe. The blacker the skin is the better!
  • Now for the Secret ingredient -- it is the shortening. DO NOT substitute the shortening for butter or anything else. I promise this is what makes the crust so brown and YUMMY! I'm not a big fan of using shortening except I make an acception to this recipe.
  • I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have through the years =).
