Minnie’s Banana Bread

By: Minnie Williams

With its super-moist texture, buttery banana and brown sugar flavors, and incredibly soft crumb, this is my favorite banana bread recipe.

Produce:

3-4 bananas, Large Ripe

Refrigerated:

2 Eggs, Large

Baking & Spices:

2 cups All-Purpose Flour

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

1 cup Granulated Sugar

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

1/2 tsp.  Salt

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

Dairy:

1 Stick Butter

Instructions:

This recipe makes one loaf of banana bread.  The first step is to preheat your oven and prepare a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or grease with butter.

•  Take a large bowl and whisk together your dry ingredients.  This will include flour, sugars, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

• In a separate bowl melt your butter in the microwave, then add in the bananas and mash until mostly smooth.

• Add your eggs and vanilla to your mashed banana and use your fork to combine everything really well.

• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together with a spatula just until combined.  Don’t overmix.

• Now, you are ready to pour your batter into your prepared pan and bake!

NOTE ON LOAF PAN:

For this recipe, you will use a standard size of about 9×5 inch loaf pan for one loaf of bread.  Alternately, you can use a standard-sized muffin tin and bake for around 25-30 minutes.
