I have been making Tyler Florence's Banana Bread for years and years. It is the only Banana Bread recipe that I need, because it is absolutely delicious. I feel the secret is in the banana cream, that is made from just bananas and sugar.
I love eating it with salted butter or honey butter, I've included a really quick and yummy recipe for honey butter.
I hope you give this a go, but remember only use very Over Ripe bananas, otherwise, you won't get the wonderful banana flavour.
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
170 grams melted butter, cooled to room temperature
½ cup Pecans (or any preferred nuts), finely chopped
5 large overripe bananas
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups plain flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C (fan forced). Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
2. Melt butter in a small pot over low heat, then set aside to cool.
3. Finely chop pecans and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, mash 5 overripe bananas and add 1 cup of sugar. Whip with a stand or handheld mixer for 5 minutes to create a light and fluffy banana cream.
5. Add 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the cooled melted butter. Mix until thoroughly combined.
6. In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups plain flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Optionally, add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg.
7. Mix the flour mixture into the banana cream until just incorporated. Gently fold in the chopped pecans using a spatula.
8. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, rap the pan on the counter to remove bubbles, and bake for 60-75 minutes (optimal time: 70 minutes). Cover the top with aluminium foil for the last 20 minutes to prevent burning.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Honey Butter:
Ingredients:
125 grams unsalted softened butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon icing sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions:
1. Beat softened butter until smooth with a hand mixer.
2. Add honey, icing sugar, and salt. Mix well, adjusting salt to taste.
3. Spread honey butter on top of toasted banana bread.
