Recipe: Delicious Banana bread

Banana bread. I'm not a big fan of banana bread, but we had three or four bananas wasting away in the pantry so I decided to give this bread a shot. Banana bread is one of those things people rarely make on purpose, only when those last three bananas are almost black. This scrumptious banana-walnut loaf, spiked with dark chocolate chips, is so good you'll want to make it well before the bananas get to that condition.

Stir in eggs until well blended. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt just until moistened. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. You can have Banana bread using 13 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook it.

Ingredients of Banana bread

1. You need 3 of ripe bananas (black or spotty).
2. It's of Pecans (optional).
3. You need 8 tbs of butter (1stick, 1/2 cup).
4. It's 1/2 cup of sugar.
5. You need 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
6. You need 1 tsp of vanilla.
7. It's 2 of eggs.
8. It's 1/2 tsp of nutmeg.
9. You need 1/2 tsp of cinnamon.
10. You need 2 cups of flour.
11. You need 1 tsp of baking powder.

In another bowl, combine the eggs, bananas, oil, buttermilk and vanilla; add to flour mixture, stirring just until combined. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Banana bread is a great way to use up extra bananas (or those ones that go brown). Put them to use with some classic banana bread recipes.

Banana bread step by step

1. Ripen bananas (if needed, 325F, for 15-20minutes, they will be spotty or black, or if using previously frozen bananas, just thaw and they will ripen).
2. Grease/butter loaf pan. (I use bakers goop, recipe in page).
3. Cream sugars, butter. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla. (In mix bowl).
4. In separate bowl mash bananas..
5. In a 3rd bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt with a whisk or fork..
6. Add banana mixture into butter in the mixer..
7. Add dry ingredients, do not over mix..
8. Bake on 300F for 25 minutes (mini loaf) —35 minutes (medium loaf) —1 hr 10 minutes (full size loaf).

There are several possible explanations behind this. You may have added too much or too little baking soda, or maybe your baking soda has already gone bad. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. I firmly believe that banana bread is something you should be able to make anytime and anywhere, with a mixer or with a fork, in a loaf pan or in a muffin tin — whenever you have a few bananas going soft and freckly. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
