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. Cream the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Banana bread is one of those things people rarely make on purpose, only when those last three bananas are almost black.

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 5 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Ingredients of Banana Bread

Prepare 2 cup of flour.
You need 1 cup of sugar.
Prepare 2 tsp of baking powder.
It's 1 tsp of ground cinnamon.
It's 1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg.
You need 1 cup of ripe banana (mashed).
It's 1/4 tsp of salt.
You need 2 of eggs.
Prepare 1/3 cup of oil.
It's 1/4 cup of milk.
You need 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
It's 1 cup of chopped nuts or dried cranberries (optional).
Prepare 1/2 cup of mini chocolate or peanut butter chips (optional).

In another bowl, combine the eggs, bananas, oil, buttermilk and vanilla; add to flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. 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.

Baking is an exact science, so little mishaps like this could be detrimental to your bread! In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. 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. Banana bread is a "quick" bread made of very ripe bananas, sugar, butter, eggs, flour, vanilla, and a leavener. Since it is a quick bread, it uses baking soda rather than a yeast to help the bread rise as it cooks.
