The Simply Delicious Banana Bread Recipe

There are a number of mouth-watering and easy to make recipes that people can have during breakfast. One such popular dish is the banana bread recipe whose origin lies in Australia. It is quite tasty and does not need much time to prepare. Both children and adults can enjoy this dish during breakfast.

It is also quite popular in continents like North America. But the residents of Australia are really fond of it. The benefit of the dish is that it is filling as well as appetizing. As a matter of fact, the bread used in North America is thicker than the bread used in Australia. Not everybody knows the right way to prepare banana bread recipe. It has an irresistible sweet taste and flavor that make people crave for it. It can be eaten with coffee or tea.

Bread Pan

The banana bread recipe became popular in USA in the early part of the 20th century and it was found in various recipe books in that time. Baking at home gained popularity in the 1960s and people tried making banana bread at home instead of going to the cafes.

It is quite easy to make banana bread at home. The main ingredient to make this recipe is banana. This needs to be mashed properly. The bread making process also necessitates fermentation of the main ingredient. Earlier yeast was used in making bread but for banana bread recipe baking soda is used. The thick batter that will turn into the bread should be kept in a thick rectangular pan. Generally egg is used for making banana bread but the vegetarian people can use yogurt or tofu.

At first a person needs to mix sugar with butter until the mixture becomes fluffy and light. Thereafter, the mashed bananas need to be added to the mix and stirred so that all the ingredients blend well together. Next, one needs to add the vanilla extract. The eggs need to be beaten in a separate bowl. When it is done, the egg needs to be added to the banana batter. The dry ingredients in the recipe need to be added to the egg mixed batter thereafter.

One need a 9x5 inch sized rectangular baking tray for baking the banana batter properly. The baking tray needs to be well greased with butter. The optimum baking temperature for the banana bread recipe is 350F. One should ideally bake the batter for one hour and should check the progress of baking in the time with the help of a toothpick. After the baking is done one can keep the banana bread on a wire rack. This will make it cool down. The bread can then be sliced with knife and served with tea.

Whole Grain Honey Sweetened Banana Bread

A quick search for whole grain banana bread recipes will turn up a few options. All of them seem to just simply swap out the refined white flour for whole wheat. While that does accomplish the goal of eliminating refined grains, it does little for the flavor and texture of the banana bread.

The biggest problem with simply substituting whole wheat for white is that the whole wheat is denser and drier. If you don't take steps to account for that, the banana bread will also be denser and drier. My recipe splits the flour evenly between two whole grains: wheat and oat. The wheat provides a good, strong structure while the oats are softer in both taste and feel.The lack of gluten in oats make them a perfect match for the high gluten wheat. Baking, just like life, is all about balance.

Bread Pan

I use honey to sweeten most of my whole grain baked goods. There are two reasons for this. First, I think it is the best sweetener you can use, as far as health and nutrition are concerned. Second, honey is extremely hydroscopic. This means it attracts and traps moisture. This helps your banana bread stay moist.

The third major change in this recipe vs traditional banana breads is the choice of cooking fat. Butter would be the normal standby, and it does give a lovely flavor to baked goods. The problem with saturated fat, when it comes to baking, is that it is solid at room temperature. This is also true once baked. An unsaturated oil stays liquid and adds a moist feel to baked goods. The problem with just substituting vegetable oil is in the flavor; it doesn't offer much. I use walnut oil in my banana bread. In addition to being loaded with heart healthy omega-3s, the flavor goes incredibly well with bananas.

Ingredients

1 cup of whole wheat flour

1 cup of whole grain oat flour

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1/2 teaspoon of sea salt

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg

3 large or 4 medium very ripe bananas

1/2 cup of walnut oil

2 large eggs

1/2 cup of honey

2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup of walnuts, roughly chopped

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan and set aside.

Put the wheat flour, oat flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg into the work bowl of your food processor fitted with a multipurpose blade. Pulse several times to combine and aerate. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Put the bananas into the work bowl of your food processor fitted with a multipurpose blade. Process until well puréed. Add the walnut oil. Pulse a few times until combined. Add the eggs, honey and vanilla. Pulse until combined. Turn the food processor to "on" and let run for 3 minutes.

Add the banana mixture to the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just barely combined. Too much stirring will over-develop the gluten and result in a tough bread.

Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and top with the chopped walnuts. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow to cool completely before serving.

The Best Banana Nut Bread

I have made this banana nut bread ever since my husband and I got married. I have had great compliments on it every year. Everyone wants to know how I make it so moist. The secret to keeping banana nut bread moist is freezing the bananas ahead of time. We eat bananas throughout the year, but when they start to turn almost black and get over ripe, I put them in the freezer. By the time Thanksgiving and Christmas get here, I have tons of bananas to make a lot of bread!

Best Banana Bread Recipe

Bread Pan

1 cup natural dehydrated cane sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, from happy pastured hens
1 1/2 cups frozen bananas, mashed (about 3-4)
1/3 cup water
1 2/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease the bottom and sides of a bread pan with lard.

Step 1: Using a mixer, mix sugar and butter together until creamy. Then stir in the eggs. Add bananas and water and beat until thoroughly mixed.

Step 2: In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, sea salt and baking powder. Using a wooden spoon, stir this mixture into the egg mixture a little at a time until it is all moistened. Stir in the nuts.

Step 3: Pour into the bread pan and bake about 1 hour. When you can insert a knife or toothpick in the center and it comes out clean, it is done. Loosen the sides from the pan with a butter knife and flip over onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing.

This recipe makes 1 loaf. So save plenty of bananas all year long, because everyone will ask for more!

All-Bran Banana Bread is a Real Homemade Treat

With rich, sugar-consuming desserts off the list for the duration, women are wondering how they are going to give their meals that extra something that satisfies. One answer is with homemade bread and muffins. When golden brown muffins or fragrant, freshly baked bread are served, no other dessert is necessary.

Fortunately, most of today's tastiest breads are quick bread, which means that they can be turned out in an hour or so. Secondly, they can be piled full of nutrition by using bran or whole grain flours; by adding nuts and dried fruits, and by serving with fresh, creamy dairy butter.

Bread Pan

Probably the favorite-of-favorites among homemade bread is All-Bran Banana Nut Bread. Bananas give it a moist sweetness, nuts a crunchiness, and bran a toasted wheaty taste. Sliced and spread with butter, it's delectable.

Whole Wheat Prune Bread is another winner. In this tender textured, deep flavored loaf molasses pinch-hits for sugar, while the prunes do a fine job of flavoring. This, by the way, makes superb cream cheese sandwiches.

Two muffins that deserve attention as dessert substitutes are Apple Corn Muffins and All-Bran Cream Scones. The Corn Muffins, of course, can be baked in a shallow pan, johnnycake fashion, sliced pie-shape and served piping hot with butter. So tasty are the Bran Cream Scones when spread with strawberry preserves or honey, that no one's going to miss those before-the-war pies and cakes.

All-Bran Banana Nut Bread

1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup bran cereal
3/2 cups mashed bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon each, salt and soda
1/2 cup chopped nut meats

Blend shortening and sugar thoroughly; add egg and beat well. Add bran cereal, bananas and flavoring. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and soda together; add to first mixture with nut meats, stirring only until flour disappears. Bake in greased leaf pan (4.5 by 8.5 inches) with waxed paper in bottom, in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) about 1 hour.

Whole Wheat Prune Bread

1 cup sifted enriched flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
5/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup chopped cooked prunes
2 cups sour milk or buttermilk
1/2 cup molasses

Mix and sift enriched flour, baking powder, soda, salt and sugar; stir in whole wheat flour and prunes. Combine sour milk and molasses; add to flour mixture, stirring only until well mixed. Turn into greased loaf pan, 9x5x3 inches, and bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) about 1 hour.

Apple Corn Muffins

3/4 cup sifted flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons shortening, melted
3/4 cup finely diced apple

Mix and sift dry ingredients. Combine egg and milk, and add to flour mixture, stirring only until well mixed; stir in shortening and apple. Turn into greased, shallow pan or muffin pans and bake; in pan in hot oven (400 degrees F.) about 30 minutes; in muffin pans in hot oven (425 degrees F.) about 20 minutes. Makes 8 portions, or 8 medium-sized muffins.

All-Bran Cream Scones

2 cups flour
4 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup bran cereal
1/4 cup butter
2 egg
1/3 cup cream or top milk

Sift flour with baking powder, salt and sugar; add bran cereal. Cut in butter with pastry blender. Reserve small portion of egg white; beat remaining eggs and add to first mixture with cream. Stir until dough is formed. Toss on floured board, knead slightly and roll out to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut in triangle shapes; brush with egg white mixed with 1 teaspoon water, sprinkle with sugar and bake in hot oven (425 degrees F.) about 15 minutes. Makes 12 scones.

The Famous Banana Bread

Bread is one of the most eaten forms of food in the whole world and the Banana bread is one of the most famous varieties. Banana bread as the word implies, has bananas in it. It is usually moist, sweet and has a cake-like texture. It is considered a quick bread because it is easy and fast to prepare, just combine all the ingredients, mix them and "Viola!" it is ready to be baked. No one really knows where the banana bread originated or who invented it, but people speculate that it was created in the 18th century by housewives who were trying out the different uses of pearlash. During the 1960's when the home baking was revived, the banana bread suddenly became very popular. It was featured in almost every cookbook because of its simplicity in preparation; it can even be baked or cooked in a Zojirushi bread machine!

Here's a simple Banana Bread recipe that anyone can enjoy.

Bread Pan

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour
¾ cup of sugar (white)
1 teaspoon of baking powder

In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, mashed bananas, eggs and vanilla. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, lightly fold this mixture to the dry ingredients. Fold until the combined batter is thick. Do not over mix because this will result into hard and chewy bread. Pour mixture into the baking pan and bake until the bread is golden brown. To be sure that the bread is cooked, stick a toothpick into it and if the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done. Let the bread cool for a while then remove it from the pan. Serve while warm to enjoy the full freshness of the bread or if you intend it to be eaten at a later time, freeze the bread. This recipe can make a loaf measuring 9 x 5 x 3 inches.

Extra Moist Banana Pineapple Bread Recipe For Those Craving a Tropical Taste

Looking for a little twist on the traditional banana bread recipe? Do you have a yearning for a tropical flavor surprise? Then my Extra Moist Banana Pineapple Bread Recipe may become your new favorite dessert. Within the super moist bread, you'll happily discover chucks of delicious pineapple dancing with the walnuts. You're taste buds will love you for making this dish.

Here are the ingredients for the Extra Moist Banana Pineapple Bread Recipe:

2 3/4 cups of White Flour
1 3/4 cups of Sugar
4 Bananas (very ripe)
1/2 cup of Pineapple (crushed, not cubed)
1 teaspoon of ginger
3/4 cup of Vegetable Shortening
1/4 cup of Yogurt
3 Eggs
1/2 teaspoon of Salt
1/4 cup of Buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda
1 cup of Walnuts (chopped)

This recipe makes just enough batter for standard sized loan pans. If you just need to make one loaf of banana pineapple bread instead of two, just adjust the ingredient amounts accordingly.

Recipe Directions:

1. Set your oven to 375 degrees.

2. In a mixer, add the sugar, ginger, vegetable shortening, and salt. Mix until the batter is creamy.

3. Add the eggs and mix.

4. Add the yogurt, buttermilk, flour, and baking soda and mix until batter is a smooth consistency.

5. Take the ripe bananas and mashed them up in a bowl. Place in mixer along with walnuts.

6. Drain juice from pineapple chucks and add to mixer. Mix up the batter one last time.

7. Grease up your loaf pans and dust some flour over them (this is done to keep the bread from sticking to the sides and bottom of the pan).

8. Pour batter into both loaf pans. Place in the oven for 45-50 minutes.

9. To tell if the banana pineapple bread is done, just stick a toothpick in it. When it comes out without any batter, then its safe to take the loaves out of the oven.

9. Let the bread loaves stand for thirty minutes to cool off.

Banana bread is great, but the Extra Moist Banana Pineapple Bread recipe is different enough to get your friends and family talking. And this is doubly so if you let them discover the pineapple chucks on their own. This bread is served best warm and with a slight dab of butter.

Amaryllis starts with seven ripe bananas mashed into a bowl. She sifts flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt into a bowl. She creams together butter and sugar, adds a 1/4 cup of honey and a tsp. of vanilla to the butter mixture, then adds the lightly beaten eggs. She combines the wet and dry ingredients and adds a cup of chopped walnuts, a cup of raisins stirred in at the end, and pours the batter into 2 oiled loaf pans, or several mini loaf pans to bake at 350 degrees 45-60 minutes until done! Sometimes she adds yogurt or 1/2 cup sour cream to the mixture. Many quick breads, like pumpkin bread and zucchini bread, are done this way. It's so easy!

I live on the island of Maui pursuing life as a writer and budding artist. I worked as a registered nurse for 14 years until I began to follow my true dream of expressing myself creatively through drawing, painting, writing, designing books, creating jewelry, and fashion designs and developing a line of food products to go with my cookbook. It is so fulfilling to pursue a dream with a passion!

I love to do Hawaiian Quilting, & Hand-painting on t-shirts. I plan to create DVDs of a craft series to go with small books. I have painted on tees for over 25 years and have taught teens and adults how to paint. They love it! It is fun and healing for the body, mind, soul & spirit. When creativity flows we feel alive, energized by the excitement overflowing from us. We also experience relaxation because we let ourselves go! It is my goal to get people interested in gardening, cooking, sewing and art, so they can develop passions of their own. Life is great when we slow down and enjoy the simple things and find beauty in everyday life. See http://www.amaryllisofhawaii.com

How To Make Low GI Banana Bread

As far as low gi banana bread recipes go, this one is my favorite. It is the perfect snack for those early evening cravings and it also goes great with a cup of tea or a cold glass of milk. You can spread a slice with a small amount of non-hydrogenated margarine, but I find a warm slice of this bread is excellent on its own.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

3/4 cup ground flaxseed

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

3 very ripe, medium bananas, mashed

6 tbsp SPLENDA® brown sugar blend

3/4 tbsp lemon juice plus enough skim milk to make 3/4 cup (or use 3/4 cup buttermilk)

4 egg whites

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray loaf pan with non-stick spray. Measure 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best) into a measuring cup and pour in skim milk for a total of one cup. Do not stir. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can simply use 1 cup of buttermilk if you have this ingredient on hand.

In a large bowl, blend flour, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and set aside.

Beat egg whites and sugar. Add bananas and vanilla and beat lightly.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and combine until well mixed. Add walnuts and stir until combined.
