What's a good/easy banana bread recipe??

Answer 1

This has never failed me... it's absolutely delicious and easy. I substitute the pecans with chocolate chips. Enjoy!

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 overripe bananas
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan. (***What I do here, is I spray the pan with PAM, then cut some parchment paper to fit the bottom, then spray THAT layer with PAM before puring in the batter.)
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture.

With an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk, whip the remaining bananas and sugar together for a good 3 minutes; you want a light and fluffy banana cream.

Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat well and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated; no need to overly blend.

Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a good rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.

Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Don't get nervous if the banana bread develops a crack down the center of the loaf; that's no mistake, it's typical. Rotate the pan periodically to ensure even browning.

One-Pan Banana Nut Bread

1/3 c vegetable oil
1 ½ c mashed bananas
½ tsp vanilla
2 1/3 c Bisquick
1 c sugar
½ c chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat all ingredients together vigorously. Pour into well greased loaf pan. Bake 55 to 60 minutes. Turn out on rack to cool.
[If you don’t have ripe bananas, place 2 or 3 bananas in the freezer. They will turn black after a day or so. This means the sugars have developed. Remove and defrost- they will probably be a bit mushy. Use them in this recipe.]
