THE BEST BANANA BREAD



The Best Banana Bread image

We have a lot of requirements when it comes to banana bread and we finally created a recipe that ticks all the boxes. It's moist, tender, a little tangy and perfectly sweet-all around our favorite one. The best part is that it's even better the next day (if it lasts that long). Try toasting the bread and slathering with a little salted butter. We're pretty sure you'll never need another banana bread recipe.

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil, plus more for greasing pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk, sour cream or yogurt
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 soft, very ripe, darkly speckled medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
  • Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

Categories     Dessert     Snack

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups mashed overripe bananas (about 11 ounces or 3 large)
1 large egg
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (I used nonfat. OK to substitute vanilla, though the bread will be a bit sweeter.)
2 tablespoons canola oil ( or melted cooled coconut oil*)
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips ( or chopped dark chocolate (optional))

Steps:

  • Place the rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • Mash the bananas in the bottom of a large bowl until mostly smooth.
  • Whisk in the egg, then the yogurt and oil.
  • Whisk in the brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon, and salt over the top, then stir until combined.
  • Gently stir in the flour until barely combined, then fold in any mix-ins.
  • Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Check at the 35-minute mark and tent with foil if the bread is browning too quickly at the corners. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Remove from pan and place on rack to finish cooling completely (for neat slicing), or enjoy warm and don't worry if the slices are messy.

Provided by Kristine Rosenblatt

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 tablespoons unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
1/2 cup honey (or pure maple syrup)
1 3/4 cup mashed ripe banana (about 3 1/2 large or 5 medium bananas)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups white whole wheat flour ((250 grams), or regular whole wheat or all-purpose flour)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Lay a sheet of parchment paper across the bottom and up the sides of the pan (see photo in post above).
  • Melt the butter in a large glass bowl in the microwave (or melt butter in a pot on the stove and transfer to a large mixing bowl).
  • Add the honey and mashed banana to the bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk in the eggs.
  • Add the baking soda, salt, cinnamon and vanilla to the bowl. Whisk until very well combined.
  • Add the flour and mix with a rubber spatula until just combined. You want all of the flour to be incorporated into the batter, but try not to over-mix.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Check on the banana bread after 35 minutes and loosely cover with foil as needed to prevent the top from over-browning.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer it to a wire rack to finish cooling.
