Sugar Crusted Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine sugar with melted butter and stir in mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla.
• Pour flour over banana mixture and sprinkle with baking soda and salt.
• Mix just until no dry spots remain- do not over mix.
• Prepare pans by spraying liberally with cooking spray and coating the sides with sugar by swirling and tapping.
• Fill pans 2/3 of the way full and sprinkle more sugar on top.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes depending on pan size. Bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
• Let cool and invert to remove loaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Place the bananas into a large plastic zipper bag, seal the bag, and smoosh the bananas with your fingers until very well mashed. Set the bananas aside. Place the brown sugar and butter into a mixing bowl, and mix on medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Cut a corner from the plastic bag, and squeeze the mashed bananas into the bowl of brown sugar mixture. With the electric mixer on medium speed, beat in the bananas, egg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is well combined. Switch the mixer to low speed, and gradually beat in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt just until the batter is smooth, about 1 minute. Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is set and lightly browned on top, about 40 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf should come out clean.
