FLOUR'S FAMOUS BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a loaf pan with parchment paper.
• Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Beat sugar and eggs with a whisk until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Drizzle in oil. Add mashed bananas, creme fraiche, and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients and nuts. Pour into a lined loaf pan and bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

COFFEE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Generously grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• Prepare 3/4 cup of strong coffee or espresso and allow to come to room temperature. You can also use Instant coffee or cold brew coffee if you prefer.
• Place 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts (unsalted) in a small cast iron skillet on the stove top. Heat to medium-low and toast the walnuts for 5 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir the walnuts occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine ¾ cup (equals 1 ½ sticks) of softened (but not melted) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups packed dark brown sugar (can also use light brown sugar) in a mixing bowl. Cream the softened butter and brown sugar together with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
• Mash 3 overripe bananas in a separate bowl with a fork or mashing tool.
• Add 2 eggs to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, along with 1 tsp. vanilla extract. Mix all of these ingredients together until completely combined.
• Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and cream everything together with a hand mixer.
• In a separate bowl add 2 3/4 cups gluten free flour blend (or AP flour if not gluten free), 1 tsp. baking soda, and ¼ tsp. kosher salt. Mix together until combined.
• Alternately add the flour mixture and cooled coffee to the banana mixture. Add half the flour and combine. Next, add half the coffee and combine. Repeat with second half flour and coffee. Stir just until combined.
• Add 1 tsp. cinnamon and the ½ cup of toasted chopped walnuts to the bowl and fold the ingredients in until completely combined.
• Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and place on the middle rack in the oven. Bake for 1 hour and 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.Baking times will vary depending on the type of loaf pan and oven used. This recipe usually takes around 1 hour and 10 minutes, but a few additional minutes may be needed.
• The bread is done when the top is crusty and the middle is soft, but not mushy. Place a toothpick in the middle of the bread and if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
• Allow the bread to cool a bit before serving.

BANANA BREAD FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and place in the oven to warm.
• Whisk together the eggs, half and half and vanilla in an 8-inch square baking dish until combined. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, the cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, dip 4 slices of banana bread very briefly in the egg mixture (don't soak) letting the excess drip back in the dish. Add the dipped banana bread to the skillet and sprinkle each slice with 1 tablespoon brown sugar and pat in. Cook until the underside is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the second side, about 2 minutes. Put on the baking sheet in the oven to keep warm and repeat with the remaining banana bread, batter, adding 1 tablespoon more butter to the skillet and sprinkling the slices with 1 more tablespoon brown sugar. Keep the second batch of French toast in the oven.
• Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Once the butter melts, add the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and the lemon juice and stir until smooth. Add the bananas and toss until glazed, about 1 minute. Serve the French toast topped with the bananas and chopped walnuts.

BROWN-BUTTER BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
• Heat the butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan until the milk solids are deep golden brown and the butter smells toasted, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
• Stir the brown butter so that any milk solids that have fallen to the bottom are distributed equally throughout the butter. Reserve 4 tablespoons of the brown butter for the glaze. Whisk together the remaining brown butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl, then fold in the mashed bananas.
• Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps). Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, and bake until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, and let cool completely in the pan on a rack.
• Once the bread has cooled, heat the reserved brown butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until melted, then whisk in the confectioners' sugar. Let the glaze sit at room temperature until it stiffens up a little but is still pourable, about 5 minutes. Pour and spread the brown butter over the bread. Let set. The bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
