RIDICULOUSLY EASY BANANA BREAD



Ridiculously Easy Banana Bread image

Your bananas need to be ripe for the best, most flavorful homemade banana bread. It is even better if they are overripe, brown, and speckled. A note on pan size: We use an 8 ½-inch by 4 ½-inch loaf pan; if you only have a 9-inch by 5-inch pan, check for doneness 5 to 10 minutes earlier.

Time 1h15m

Yield Makes 1 loaf, approximately 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups (195 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 medium bananas, heavily speckled and brown bananas are best, about 1 ½ cups mashed
8 tablespoons (115 grams or 1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup (150 grams) packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (50 grams) walnuts, toasted and chopped, optional
1/2 cup chocolate chips, optional

Steps:

  • Center a rack in the oven and heat to 350° Fahrenheit. Butter and flour an 8 ½-inch by 4 ½-inch loaf pan. Alternatively, grease the pan, and then line with a sheet of parchment paper (as shown in the video).
  • Place the pan on an insulated baking sheet or two regular baking sheets stacked on the other. This is optional but helps with even baking.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together, and set aside.
  • In the bottom of a medium bowl, mash bananas into a chunky paste.
  • Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla into the bananas until well blended.
  • Switch to a large rubber spatula, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, and then add the dry ingredients in three parts, stirring until the flour disappears and the batter is smooth. Fold in the nuts and chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake 55 to 75 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
  • After 30 minutes in the oven, check the bread for color. If it looks like it is browning too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Unmold the bread cool completely.

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar, plus more as needed
1 large egg
2 cups ripe banana, (about 4 large bananas)
½ cup full fat sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup dark chocolate chunk
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the long sides so it will be easy to lift out the bread, and spray again.
  • Add the butter to a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns amber brown and smells nutty, about 3-4 minutes. Watch carefully so the butter does not burn. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes.
  • Add cooled brown butter and brown sugar to a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until evenly combined, about 1 minute. Add the egg and beat until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla and mix with a rubber spatula until well combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • Alternate adding the flour mixture and banana mixture to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour and folding with a rubber spatula between each addition until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth with an offset spatula, then sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top.
  • Bake the banana bread until golden brown and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes. Set the loaf pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour, then lift out the banana bread and slice.
  • Enjoy!

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.
