MY FAVORITE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. On medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the yogurt, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract on medium speed until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly beat the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no flour pockets remain. Do not overmix. Fold in the nuts, if using.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 60-65 minutes. Loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil after 30 minutes to help prevent the top and sides from getting too brown. A toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf will come out clean when the bread is done. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack.
• Cover and store banana bread at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Banana bread tastes best on day 2 after the flavors have settled together. See post above for freezing instructions.

"WE'RE GOING BANANAS" BREAD

Steps:

• Grease and flour a bundt pan or 2 large loaf pans (8"X4"X3").
• Beat the sugar and eggs until creamy.
• Mix in the oil.
• Sift the dry ingredients togethr and add to the creamed mixture.
• Beat in the bananas (if they are very ripe) or mash them and mix in if the are on the less ripe side. (2 cups is approximately 4 small bananas).
• Mix in the raisins. (I like to soak the raisins for about 30 minutes in warm water then dredge in flour so they won't sink during baking).
• Pour this mixture into a bundt pan, and spread out evenly.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 60 minutes or until done (test with a toothpick, if it comes out dry the cake is done).
• TURN OUT OF THE PAN WHEN THE CAKE IS COOL.
