Tried and True recipes: The world's best Banana Bread (no kidding)




This recipe came from an online search, and it is so easy and delicious, it really is the world's best.  This recipe is taped inside our baking cabinet door for ninja power baking!

The BEST Banana Bread

Butter a non-stick bread pan, then flour well.  (The flour is really important for the bread to “climb” against while baking.  I had not done that before, and it makes a huge difference!)     Ususally just use vegetable spray and skip the flour.
Combine and mix well the following dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside:

2 cups AP flour
¾ cup sugar
½ cup toasted coarsely chopped walnuts
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

In another medium bowl, coarsely smash 3 ripe bananas (use a large spoon or spatula and don’t puree – the banana needs to be chunky)

To the bananas, add and combine: (but try not to reduce the banana chunks)

2 large eggs, beaten
6 Tablespoons melted butter  Canola oil is a great substitute!
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ cup buttermilk or plain yogurt


Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently FOLD until the flour is thoroughly moistened.  Pour into the prepared bread pan and spread the mixture evenly across the top.

To which add cranberries or blueberries, sprinkle the top with sugar.

Bake in a preheated 350-degree (F) oven for 45-50 minutes.

Serve with love  :-)
