Three Loaf Banana Bread Recipes

SIMPLE BANANA BREAD FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Whisk the egg is a bowl.
• Add the sugar to the whisked egg and mix well and keep aside.
• Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg sugar mixture and mix everything well.
• Mash the bananas in another bowl, little chunks of bananas are fine as they taste nice in the loaf.
• Add the butter, sugar egg mixture to the mashed bananas and mix well.
• In another bowl, mix together the remaining dry ingredients - flour, baking soda and salt. Make sure you have mixed the dry ingredients evenly.
• Pour the banana egg mixture ( that also contains melted butter and sugar) to the bowl of dry ingredients, and mix gently so that no lumps are formed.You don't have to mix too much, but mix everything together in the bowl very gently so that the perfect batter for banana bread is formed.
• Grease your baking pan, I used a 9 inch loaf pan, and pour the banana bread batter into it.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit and bake for 45 minutes.
• Check if the center of the loaf is cooked by inserting a toothpick to the center, if it comes out clean the bread is done! If not, cook for few more minutes and check in between to see if it is cooked.
• Slice and serve the warm banana bread with evening coffee, or you can make it in the night and save for the morning breakfast.

QUICK & EASY BANANA BREAD RECIPE (CLASSIC BANANA BREAD)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Mash bananas with a fork.
• Soften butter in a microwave.
• Stir eggs, bananas and butter together.
• Mix in remaining ingredients. Stir until the batter is fully mixed.
• Optional - If you want to enhance this easy "basic" banana bread, you can stir in 1 cup of your family's favorite dessert ingredient (i.e. chocolate chips or chopped walnuts) after you have mixed the batter.
• Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
• Bake in the oven for 65-70 minutes or until golden brown.
• Take out of oven and let the banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
• After 10 minutes, remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the banana bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.
