Blueberry Banana Bread With Coconut Pecans Recipes

BANANA BREAD WITH COCONUT AND PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter, then coat with flour, shaking off the excess.
• Use an electric mixer to beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar and butter together until it is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs; add the bananas, buttermilk and vanilla and beat until smooth. Stir in the cinnamon, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt by hand with a rubber spatula. (You don't want to over-beat the batter or the bread will be tough.) Stir in the pecans and coconut and pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out dry, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes in the pan. Run a knife along the sides to loosen the loaf from the pan; invert to remove the bread and place it (bottom side down) on a wire rack to cool.

BLUEBERRY BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 3 small loaf pans.
• Mix flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add 1 egg and allow to blend into the butter mixture before adding the second egg along with vanilla extract. Beat mashed bananas thoroughly into the mixture. Add flour mixture in small increments while beating until just combined into a thick batter. Fold blueberries into the batter; pour into prepared loaf pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

COCONUT BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine butter and sugar; mix well. Add eggs and extracts; beat on high speed until thickened. Stir in bananas. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to banana mixture. Fold in the chocolate, coconut and pecans. Transfer to two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 70-75 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

BLUEBERRY UPSIDE-DOWN BANANA NUT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• Whisk together the canola oil, water, eggs, and egg white. Stir in the banana, then add 1 cup of sugar. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and flax seeds in a separate bowl. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture. Fold in the pecans. Combine blueberries and 1/4 cup of sugar in a small bowl, then pour into the prepared pan. Carefully pour batter over the berries.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. When the cake is completely cool, run a paring knife between the cake and the edge of the pan. Hold the cake pan on its side and gently tap the sides of the pan against the counter to loosen it. Cover the cake pan with a plate or cooling rack, and invert it to tip the cake out of the pan and onto the plate.
