Sheilas Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• 1. CREAM SUGAR, SALT AND BUTTER OR MARGARINE WITH BEATER
• 2. THEN ADD THE 2 EGGS AND 3 MASHED BANANAS to the above mixture and blend well.
• 3. IN SEPERATE BOWL ADD BAKING SODA PLUS THE FLOUR, SIFT AND MIX.
• 4. ADD THE DRY INGREDIENTS TO THE CREAMED MIXTURE (OF SUGAR, SALT, BUTTER AND THE BANANA MIXTURE)MIX ALL UNTIL JUST WELL BLENDED THEN ADD THE CHOPPED NUTS.
• 5. TURN INTO A GREASED LOAF PAN AND BAKE FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR AT 325 degrees or til brown. You can stick a toothpick into center and if it comes out clean it is done. Do not overbake and start checking with toothpick as soon as it starts looking brown which will be around an hr. I like to drizzle a little powered sugar frosting over the top while it is still warm, or just spread a little butter over the top instead. I prefer, the drizzle of frosting; however. It is wonderful bread and the best banana bread I have ever eaten. My grandmother clipped it out of the Omaha World Herald newspaper around 1958.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Butter the sides of a 9-by-5-inch (23-by-12.5-centimeter) loaf pan and set it aside.
• Spread the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Roast them in the oven for 10 minutes, until fragrant and lightly toasted. Allow the pecans to cool, then chop them and set them aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder. cinnamon, nutmeg and salt until well combined.
• Place the bananas in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix for about a minute to smash the bananas thoroughly, then add the melted butter and mix until incorporated.
• Add the sugar and mix until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
• Finally, add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix the batter, which can make the crumb tough and result in large "worm" holes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the pecans and sour cream until just incorporated.
• Melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water or a double boiler. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly. In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup (235 milliliters) of the batter with the chocolate until well combined.
• Pour one-third of the banana batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drop two large spoonfuls of the chocolate batter side by side in the center of the batter. Cover this with another third of the banana batter followed by the remaining chocolate batter. Cover this with the last third of the banana batter. Using a knife, swirl the two batters through the loaf pan a few times, without overmixing.
• Transfer to the oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean (okay, there may be a crumb. Or two). Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling, and you're done! Boom. Banana chocolate deliciousness.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
• Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan.
• Cream the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Mix in the milk and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Add the banana mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until combined. Add dry ingredients, mixing just until flour disappears.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Remove bread from pan, invert onto rack and cool completely before slicing.
• Spread slices with honey or serve with ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease and flour a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat together butter and sugar in another medium bowl until light in color. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla.
• Stir in flour mixture alternately with bananas and milk. Stir in 3/4 cup of nuts. Pour in prepared pan.
• Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until wooden pick inserted comes out clean. Cool on rack for about 10 minutes. Run thin knife around edges. Remove bread from pan to rack to cool. Bread is better next day. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature.
