Recipe: Yummy 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 cook Banana bread using 13 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook it.

Ingredients of Banana bread

1. Prepare 3 of ripe bananas (black or spotty).
2. It's of Pecans (optional).
3. Prepare 8 tbs of butter (1stick, 1/2 cup).
4. It's 1/2 cup of sugar.
5. It's 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
6. You need 1 tsp of vanilla.

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. 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.

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).

3. Cream sugars, butter. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla. (In mix bowl).

7. Add dry ingredients, do not over mix..

Baking is an exact science, so little mishaps like this could be detrimental to your bread! I made this Banana bread a while ago and it was the best Banana bread I've ever had. Very rich and moist with lots of banana flavor. Banana bread is such a great use of overripe bananas that we are wondering why there isn't a phrase, "When life rots your bananas: make banana bread." The second reason why we love banana bread is that you can eat banana bread anytime of day-commit just one easy banana bread recipe to memory and you've got fresh banana bread for. 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.
