Their family’s very favourite Banana Bread recipe is EASY, moist, and simply perfection! Look no further for a fool-proof banana bread recipe that turns out perfect every time.
The ingredients are simple and it’s easy to make. It’s a “quick bread” which means the leavening agents in the batter are baking soda and baking powder, and not yeast, like regular bread recipes, so it’s ready to bake right away.
Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 large eggs
3 ripe bananas mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 Tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
HOW TO MAKE BANANA BREAD:
- In a small bowl mash three ripe bananas with a fork.
- In a large mixing bowl cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy in texture.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Next, mix in the mashed bananas and milk.
- In another bowl, mix together the dry ingredients and add to the creamed sugar mixture. Stir just enough to combine the batter without over-mixing.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 5 inch (or similar size) bread loaf pan and bake at 170 degrees for about an hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
TIPS FOR MOIST AND PERFECT BANANA BREAD:
Room temperature ingredients. Room temperature eggs and butter emulsify into the batter better than if they are cold.
Don’t over-mix. For extra moist and soft banana bread, don’t over-mix the batter, especially when you add the flour mixture in the last step.
Over-browning. If the bread is browning too much in the oven before the time is up, place a piece of tinfoil over it.
