Best Ridiculously Simple Banana Bread Recipes

QUICK & EASY BANANA BREAD RECIPE (CLASSIC BANANA BREAD)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Mash bananas with a fork.
• Soften butter in a microwave.
• Stir eggs, bananas and butter together.
• Mix in remaining ingredients. Stir until the batter is fully mixed.
• Optional - If you want to enhance this easy "basic" banana bread, you can stir in 1 cup of your family's favorite dessert ingredient (i.e. chocolate chips or chopped walnuts) after you have mixed the batter.
• Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
• Bake in the oven for 65-70 minutes or until golden brown.
• Take out of oven and let the banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
• After 10 minutes, remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the banana bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.

RIDICULOUSLY EASY BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Center a rack in the oven and heat to 350° Fahrenheit. Butter and flour an 8 ½-inch by 4 ½-inch loaf pan. Alternatively, grease the pan, and then line with a sheet of parchment paper (as shown in the video).
• Place the pan on an insulated baking sheet or two regular baking sheets stacked on the other. This is optional but helps with even baking.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together, and set aside.
• In the bottom of a medium bowl, mash bananas into a chunky paste.
• Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla into the bananas until well blended.
• Switch to a large rubber spatula, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, and then add the dry ingredients in three parts, stirring until the flour disappears and the batter is smooth. Fold in the nuts and chocolate chips.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake 55 to 75 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
• After 30 minutes in the oven, check the bread for color. If it looks like it is browning too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Unmold the bread cool completely.
