Yummy and So Easy Banana Bread
I like to make this bread in a good loaf pan that I’ve placed parchment in the bottom. These are the loaf pans that use. Really inexpensive but work well: https://www.amazon.com/Farberware-Nonstick-Bakeware-9-Inch-5-Inch/dp/B00008W70I.
Here’s the recipe for this yummy Banana Bread! Enjoy!
Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 Cups All purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 Tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup plus 2 tbsp Sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 Cup Oil
- 3 1/2 Bananas, very ripe, mashed
- 2 Tbsp creme fraiche or sour cream
- 1 Tsp Vanilla
- 2/3 Cups Walnuts, toasted and chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Set oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a loaf pan with parchment paper.Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Beat sugar and eggs with a whisk until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Drizzle in oil. Add mashed bananas, crème fraiche or sour cream (I used sour cream), and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients and nuts if using. Butter the bottom of a non-stick loaf pan, then add a sheet of parchment paper. Pour the batter in and bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until a toothpick comes out clean. Some ovens cook differently so I would check at 45 minutes or when you start to smell the bread….just taking a peek to see if it has risen and begins to look firm on top. If you don't have parchment I would lightly grease the entire pan and flour the pan before adding the batter to prevent it from sticking.
