the absolute best banana nut bread ever ever
a family recipe from u/daviddwatsonn on r/old_recipes
ingredients
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted sweet cream butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tps vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 bananas (blackened)
- 3/4 cups chopped nuts (optional)
- 2 cups all purpose flour
instructions
preheat oven to 350°F.
one stick of room temp salted sweet cream butter (not cold or melted) and one cup of sugar. mix well together. add the eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. mixing well in between each addition. i just used a regular wooden spoon. or just use whatever works best for you. i prefer to do it all manually. my personal opinion and experience.
get another bowl and the 3 black very over-ripe bananas. mash the bananas with your hands just to make it easier to remove, then open them up and empty the banana contents into the bowl and mash until sufficiently mashed to a purée. add the mashed bananas to the original bowl and mix. add the ALL purpose flour at this point and mix well. add chopped walnuts or pecans. my mother uses pecans. (a trick to prevent the nuts from migrating to the bottom of the banana bread is after you’ve chopped them or if you buy them pre-chopped, add a table spoon of flour to them and mix, that will then coat the nuts before adding them. it keeps them in place in the batter.) nuts are optional. i personally prefer not to add them. not adding them will not alter the taste of the end product. it’ll just be lacking the nuts from within the bread.
after you’ve mixed everything together, scoop the batter into a oiled/sprayed/buttered bread pan. (mine is 9x5x3) after you place it into the pan pick it up and bang it about 3” down onto your counter like 4-5 times to remove most of the large bubbles within the batter.
bake at 350°F for an hour. after an hour get a toothpick and stick into the center. it should come out clean. i like a gooey center though so I pull it out of the oven when the toothpick (i use a wooden kebab skewer because it’s longer) comes out mostly clean.
this is an incredibly detailed walkthrough of how i was taught how to do it. to be honest, you most likely can just add everything into one bowl and mix but this is a very forgiving recipe. you have to be determined to mess it up to actually do it.
