Hey everyone, hope you are having an incredible day today. Today, I’m gonna show you how to make a special dish, banana bread. It is one of my favorites. This time, I am going to make it a bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
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 is one of the most popular of current trending meals on earth. It’s easy, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. It’s appreciated by millions every day. Banana Bread is something that I’ve loved my entire life. They are fine and they look fantastic.
To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook banana bread using 10 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Banana Bread:
- Get 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Make ready 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- Make ready 3/4 tsp salt
- Get 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Prepare 2/3 cup sugar
- Get 1/3 cup butter
- Get 2 large eggs
- Get 2 tbsp milk
- Get 1 cup mashed ripe banana (~2-3, the blacker, the better!)
- Prepare 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
In another bowl, combine the eggs, bananas, oil, buttermilk and vanilla; add to flour mixture, stirring just until combined. In large bowl, beat sugar and butter with spoon until light and fluffy. 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.
Steps to make Banana Bread:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8"x4"x2" (1-lb) loaf pan by greasing and flouring it
- In a baking pan, add bananas and cover in half the sugar, bake for 20-25 min (long enough to get the sugar to melt and the bananas' flavor to open)
- Stir together flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; set aside
- In a mixer bowl, cream half of sugar and shortening with electric mixer till light and fluffy, scraping sides of bowl often
- Add eggs, one at a time, and then the milk, beating till smooth after each addition
- Add flour mixture and mashed banana alternately to creamed mixture, folding till smooth after each addition. Gently fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts and/or chocolate
- Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack
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. 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.
