Banana Bread recipe?

PamelaSue72 · ‎09-22-2011

Right before the board changed over, somebody had posted a recipe for a delicious banana bread. I didn't copy/paste the recipe and now I can't find it. The OP said it was so good. I'd really like to try the recipe.

If the OP is still around, would you kindly post the recipe again? Or if somebody did copy/paste, would you please post it?

Thank you very much.

i got this from the Recipe section of Kitchen Swap (before this board became weird and terrible!)

My Notes: made this using 4 bananas only (didn’t have 5). Froze one loaf and ate the other one. The frozen loaf, when thawed, is the same as if you've made it that day. Freezing does not hinder taste or texture Make sure when you thaw to keep it wrapped in its original wrapping (I put mine in a zip loc freezer bag. I added chopped pecans. Very moist, good recipe. This is my go-to recipe.

BANANA BREAD - this makes 2 - 9x5 loaves

5 very ripe bananas
4 eggs
1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
1 c white sugar
1 c brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt – lessen amount if using salted butter
Optional: add in 1 c chopped nuts – walnuts or pecans

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F . Grease 2 - 9x5 inch loaf pans. In a medium bowl, mash bananas and stir in the eggs until well blended. Set aside.

In large bowl, beat butter and gradually add sugar. Stir in vanilla and banana mixture. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; blend into batter. Add walnuts if desired. Divide between the prepared pans.

Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

I copied this one on June 10th. I hope it's the one you are looking for!

Indescribably Delicious Banana Bread

1 cup butter
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
4 very ripe bananas, mashed*
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons buttermilk
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Mash bananas, beat the eggs and add to the bananas with the vanilla and buttermilk. Mix well. Add to creamed butter and sugar mixture. Sift together flour, soda and salt. Add to banana mixture, beat well. Pour into 2 greased and floured 9"x 5"x 3" loaf pans. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until bread pulls away from sides of pan. Cool

Topping:
6 tablespoons butter
10 tablespoons dark brown sugar
5 tablespoons milk
1 cup or more, chopped pecans

Melt butter in saucepan. Add sugar and milk. Cook until very syrupy. Remove from heat and add chopped pecans. Pour over bread, spreading to all the corners and place under broiler until bubbly and brown. WATCH CLOSELY so topping does not burn.

Note: Use the softest mushy bananas that you can. I leave them on the counter until they are almost black. This recipe was posted along time ago on Gail's Recipe Swap by nlb.
