With the amount of bananas used in this recipe, the bread turns out very moist and flavorful. I could literally eat banana bread everyday, maybe even every meal!
Banana Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2
cups all-purpose flour
- 1
teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4
teaspoon salt
- 1/4
cup (4 tbsp) butter
- 3/4
cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2
eggs, beaten
- 3 cups overripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In another mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. Add in vanilla.
- Stir in eggs and mashed bananas ( I use a potato masher) until well blended.
- Pour the flour mixture into the banana mixture; stir until just combine.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with crushed walnuts
- Bake for 60-65 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Note: Do not over stir the batter! (over stirred batter will make the bread dry and dense)
Saw this recipe a few weeks ago, decided to try it yesterday--glad I did! The bread came out so flavorful and moist.
