Recipe: Perfect Banana Bread

Delicious, easy and tasty.

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.

Banana Bread Stir in eggs until well blended. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt just until moistened. Banana bread is a great way to use up extra bananas (or those ones that go brown). You can have Banana Bread using 8 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Ingredients of Banana Bread

  1. It's 3 of very ripe bananas.
  2. Prepare 1/3 cup of melted butter.
  3. You need 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
  4. It's 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Prepare 3/4 cup of brown sugar.
  6. It's 1 of large egg beaten.
  7. Prepare 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  8. Prepare 1 1/2 cup of white flour.

Put them to use with some classic banana bread recipes. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with bananas, beating well after each addition.

Banana Bread instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and butter a 4x8 loaf pan.
  2. Mash banana and add melted butter.
  3. Mix in baking soda, salt, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract and flour.
  4. Put into loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes.

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.
