St Johns Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat a 9x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Whisk flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.
• Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add mashed bananas and beat until combined. Beat eggs into the butter mixture one at a time, fully blending each egg before adding the next. Stir vanilla extract and milk into the mixture.
• Stir chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, and flour mixture into banana mixture until just incorporated.
• Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Tap pan on the counter to release any air pockets.
• Bake in preheated oven for about 1 hour 10 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• Let the bread rest in the pan for 15-20 minutes; remove from pan, slice, and serve.

Steps:

• Grease and line three 9"X5" loaf tins.
• Pre mix the flour, salt, and baking soda.
• Mash the bananas in the mixer.
• Mix in the eggs, sugar.
• Add the dried ingredients.
• Add the dried fruit nuts etc. - this is where all that extra horsepower from a good mixer comes in handy!
• Spoon out the mix into the three loaf pans - a scale is a handy way to get them approximately equal.
• Bake about 1 hour at 350°F When done, a test stick will come out clean.
