INSTANT POT BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix 2 cups (280g) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp (6g) baking soda, 1 tsp (4g) baking powder, 1 tsp (3g) ground cinnamon, ¼ tsp (0.8g) ground nutmeg, and ⅓ tsp (1.8g) fine salt together. *Optional: sift all the dry ingredients through a mesh strainer to make it easier to mix.
• Prepare Banana Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, mash 450g overripe bananas with a fork. Mix in 2 beaten eggs and 2 tsp (10ml) vanilla extract.
• Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix ¼ cup (60g) room temperature unsalted butter, ¼ cup (60ml) coconut oil, and ⅓ cup (65g) brown sugar together. *Note: If you are using more sugar, add in the extra sugar at this step. Mix ingredients until creamy (~1 - 1.5 mins) with a hand mixer using medium speed. Add banana mixture, then mix until just combined (~30 secs). Line the side & bottom of the 7 x 3 inch Cake Pan with parchment paper. Use a bit of coconut oil to glue them in place.
• Make Banana Bread Batter (Mix Everything): Slowly pour the "banana egg" mixture into the dry ingredients. Fold and mix gently with a silicone spatula. Do not over mix! *Note: Having some lumps in the banana bread batter is okay!
• Pressure Cook Banana Bread: Pour banana bread batter into the lined cake pan. Then tap the cake pan against the counter a few times to remove some air bubbles. Wrap & cover the top of the cake pan with aluminum foil. Add 1 cup (250ml) cold water in Instant Pot. Place cake pan on top of trivet + aluminum foil sling or Bakeware Sling, then place them in Instant Pot. Close lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing position. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 60 minutes + 15 minutes Natural Release. Turn the Venting Knob to Venting position. Open the lid.
• Check Doneness & Chill Banana Bread: Unwrap the cake pan, then measure the temperature. *Note: Banana bread's core should be 195°F - 210°F. If it's under 190°F, place banana bread back in the Instant Pot and pressure cook at High Pressure for an additional 5 - 10 minutes.Place the cake pan on a cooling rack for 45 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
• Serve Nana's Banana Bread: Once the banana bread has cooled to lukewarm or room temperature, it is ready to serve. Release the ultra-moist & delicious banana bread from the cake pan. Enjoy~

THE BEST BANANA BREAD

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.
