Banana Tea Bread From The New York Times Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment or wax paper, leaving enough paper hanging over the sides to lift the cake out after baking. (This will prevent the topping from breaking when removing the bread from the pan.)
• Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, using a sturdy whisk, beat together oil, eggs and honey until smooth. Stir in bananas and warm water. Add dry ingredients to egg-oil mixture and stir to blend. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon, using your fingers to break up any lumps. Sprinkle evenly over batter.
• Bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour, checking after 50 minutes. If topping shows signs of burning, reduce heat to 325 degrees.
• Remove to a rack and let cool in pan for 30 minutes. Use the edges of the paper to lift the cake up and out. Place on a rack (leave the paper on) and let cool before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a fluted 10-cup Bundt pan. Using an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar until very soft, pale and fluffy. Beat in eggs one by one, then vanilla.
• Add mashed bananas; batter may look speckled and grainy. Add flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add buttermilk, and mix until smooth. Fold in chocolate morsels.
• Scrape batter into Bundt pan. Place pan on baking sheet in oven and bake until a tester inserted into cake comes out clean (except for melted chocolate), about 45 minutes.
• Cool cake in pan for about 10 minutes, then unmold onto a serving plate. Allow to cool another 15 minutes, then dust with confectioners' sugar passed through a fine mesh sieve. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan.
• Mix together the dry ingredients. With a hand mixer, a whisk, or in the food processor, cream the butter and beat in the eggs and bananas. Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients; stir just enough to combine (it's okay if there are lumps). Gently stir in the vanilla, nuts, and coconut.
• Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until nicely browned. A toothpick inserted into the center of the bread will come out fairly clean when it is done, but because of the bananas this bread will remain moister than most. Do not overcook. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes before removing from the pan.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Using electric mixer, cream butter until smooth and fluffy. Add sugar and cream together 2 minutes more. One at a time, mix in eggs. Mix in bananas until only small lumps remain.
• Stir dry ingredients together and mix into banana mixture just until combined. Pour into prepared pan. If making topping, stir ingredients together and sprinkle over batter.
• Bake about 55 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool in pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack and let cool completely before wrapping tightly for storage.

Steps:

• Sift flour, sugar, soda, and salt into large bowl.
• Beat eggs into small bowl and stir in bananas and shortening (or oil).
• Stir wet mixture into dry ingredients until its moistened completely.
• Bake at 350F for 1 hour or until top is firm and pick comes out clean.
• Makes 1 9X5 loaf pan or 2 smaller ones.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl, mash the bananas coarsely using a fork. They should be fully broken apart, but it's OK if some larger lumpy pieces remain. Whisk in the melted butter, yogurt, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla until well combined.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt to combine. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir to combine using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon. Scrape the sides and base of the bowl well to make sure the mixture is uniformly combined.
• Gently stir in the chocolate until combined, then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer. If using, sprinkle the surface generously with coarse sugar.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the edges of the loaf start to pull away from the edge of the pan, and a tester inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 60 to 75 minutes. If the top of the loaf is becoming too dark before it's baked through, loosely cover with foil.
• Transfer from the oven to a cooling rack and run a thin knife around the edge of the banana bread to separate it from the pan. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before unmolding and cooling completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cream the butter and sugar together until very light. Beat in the egg.
• Sift together the whole wheat flour, white flour, baking soda and salt.
• Combine the bananas and buttermilk, stirring just enough to combine well.
• Alternately add dry ingredients and banana mixture to creamed butter/sugar/egg mixture.
• Turn into an oiled 9 by 5 inch loaf pan.
• Bake 50-60 minutes or until done.
• White flour can be substituted for whole wheat flour - also try rice flour, oat flour, coconut flour [add extra liquid if using coconut flour in a 1 to 1 ratio].
• Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and finish cooling on a rack.
• Yields 1 loaf.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pan with coconut oil and line it with parchment.
• Wash the bananas then trim and discard the tips. Peel the bananas, then slice the peels crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Place them in a small bowl and toss with 1 1/2 teaspoons flour to coat; set aside.
• In a large bowl, use a fork to smush the bananas into a rough purée. (Don't worry about small lumps.) Add the coconut oil, tahini, oat milk, almond and vanilla extracts, and salt. Beat together with a whisk to thoroughly incorporate and create a thick batter. Add the sugar and beat with the whisk to combine.
• Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into the batter and fold it in using a rubber spatula until no streaks remain. Fold the floured banana peels into the batter.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top into an even layer. Bake for about 55 to 65 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then lift it out onto a baking rack using the parchment. Let it cool a bit, then serve warm with butter slathered on top, if using, or let it cool completely if you want to store it for later. (Wrapped tightly, the bread will keep at room temperature for about 4 days.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Sift flour with baking powder, soda and salt.
• Keep aside.
• Cream shortening until light.
• Then, add sugar gradually continuing to cream until fluffy.
• Beat in eggs.
• Add flour mixture alternately with bananas beginning and ending with flour.
• Spoon into a well-greased loaf pan and bake about 1 hr 10 min until loaf pulls slightly from sides of pan and is springy to the touch.
• Cool upright in pan for 10 min then turn out on a wire rack and cool before slicing.
