Best way to use up thos over-ripe bananas. However, mine never make it that long. Very fussy about my bananas. They have to be the correct ripeness for eating, and NO bruises. I can almost smell your bread.

The last time I made banana bread, my bananas were very, very ripe and reduced to somewhat more than the recipe specified. The loaves were very dense and wet - almost unedible, but I couldn't bear to throw them out.

My banana bread baking career is over.

After the first 3 months of the lockdown, I'm blaming the banana bread with my 6 pounds gained.

So the weight is off, and i'll just live through your smell-a-posts.

I make banana muffins instead of bread. That way I can pop a serving here and there.

Dense and wet, that's what I'm looking for. My banana bread is lousy, (dry) so what I make is Antonella's banana cake. It hasn't failed yet. I sure hope this recipe is still on here, I don't know whether I ever transferred it to paper. Come to think of it, I can do a Google search and it will come up somewhere.

If someone has the recipe, can you please share it? The only things I found online refer back to her QVC or QVC Facebook pges, which are gone. I don't belong to Instgram. Thanks for your help.

@granddi

I'm with you. Love baking these things, but my husband isn't a fan of anything sweet, so it is left up to me not to "waste" it.

When I worked, I could take it in for my office mates, but after retirement, I had to curtail all baking or I'd expand like a biscuit.

I do miss it, however. Nothing like fresh bread of any kind!

Good afternoon hello kitty. If its no trouble. Can I ask you for the recipe? and the way you saId sad looking bananas. It reminded me of years ago at my moms house she had on the basket on the table with stuff in it. And my wife picked up something that was as think as a finger. Black and dried out. She said what is this and my brother said it use to be a banana. My wife said I'm going to have nightmares about this banana. It may sound nasty but I guess it is.

Banana Cake

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening
1-1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
4 smashed brown bananas (the riper, the better)
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1 Tbsp. vanilla
3/4 cup milk

Preparation:

All mixing must be done by hand with a wooden spoon. Mix all the dry ingredients except flour. Add the eggs, sugar, shortening, vanilla, and milk. Mix thoroughly. Add the smashed bananas and mix. Add the flour, continuing to mix. Grease and flour a 9" x 11" pan. Pour in the batter and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes or until a knife through the center of the cake comes out dry. Cover with powdered sugar, let cool, and cover again with powdered sugar.

Banana Bread

Serves: 1 loaf

Ingredients

butter and sugar, for greasing pan
3 very ripe bananas
2 eggs
½ cup + 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
turbinado sugar, for dusting

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Butter the inside of a 1-pound loaf pan and dust with sugar - shake the pan to cover the bottom and sides with sugar and tap out any excess sugar. Set the pan aside.
Mash the bananas with a fork. Add the eggs, oil and sugar, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once. Mix by hand just until dry ingredients are incorporated into the wet. Do not overmix the batter. Gently fold in the chopped nuts, if using.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with the turbinado sugar.
Bake at 350ºF for 60 to 75 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean in the center.
Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove the banana bread from the pan and cool completely on cooling rack before slicing and serving.

Are the two recipes above what you were looking for?

Should you tire of banana bread, I highly recommend the "Amish Cinnamon Bread" recipe from the December/January 2019 issue of Cook's Country.

I would have to do the second recipe, I never buy shortening anymore.

Someone gave me a bunch of bananas so I should bake something.
