Banana Bread

newest »






I'm new
my name is Amal
I was searching for Banana Bread recipe
this one looks yummy, so I may try today
Thank you Valerie

ETA: I usually just make this in the saucepan in which I melt the butter - less washing up!

1 cups of mashed bananas = about 2 medium sized bananas
I used skim milk instead of sour cream and orange zest instead of vanilla
and since I don't have loaf pan I used cupcake pan
it was enough for 24 cups
and took about 30 min
I like how its not as sweet as the recipes I tried before
INGREDIENTS
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed very ripe bananas
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan.
With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, beating well.
Sift the dry ingredients together and combine with the butter mixture. Blend well. Add the bananas, sour cream, and vanilla. Stir well. Stir in the nuts and pour into the prepared pan. Bake 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean. Turn out onto a rack to cool.
