Bread Recipes
These are all quick breads recipes. The goal for the book and this site is to provide simple recipes that new bakers can follow with success.
Tip: if you're short on mashed bananas add unsweetened applesauce to make up the difference
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter (melted) OR 1/2 vegetable oil or shortening
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (usually about 4)
1/2 cup milk (or buttermilk)
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt optional
1 cup chopped nuts optional
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 tbsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use a non-stick spray on 2 loaf pans, spray the sides as well for easier clean up. In a large bowl stir the butter and sugar until well mixed. Add in the bananas, milk and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and nuts until it's moistened and there's no loose flour in the bowl.
Pour or spoon the batter into the loaf pans in even amounts, you'll want it each loaf pan about 3/4 full, it will need room for the top to rise.
Bake for 50-60 minutes. Test with a fork or toothpick until center comes out clean. Let cool and turn out of loaf pan (basically grab the bottom of the pan and flip it upside down into your other hand.
Again, this is a spot where I tend to add the cinnamon and nutmeg until it just "looks right".
