smitten kitchen banana bread

January 16, 2021 by  
Filed under Uncategorized

It’s still cooling on the counter, but I’m pretty good at baking so I think it will be delicious. I’m only saying this because I’ve been playing around with pumpkin bread and I always want to put more more more pumpkin in and then there’s this point when what you describe happens — it’s basically just a little too damp and becomes dense. thanks so much for posting it. I used four bananas, and they were definitely at the “near-oozing” stage of ripeness, so they probably had more moisture in them than yours did. I’m sure everyone on their post-holiday diet will hate and love me :-). I’m thinking either my oven isn’t quite accurate temperature wise, or that I need to add a squich more GF flour next time. Thanks! I’ve been meaning to come back and tell you just how much I love you! So bizzare that I was hoping to come here and find a banana bread recipe because I have some freckled bananas just waiting to be used. This combo still rises nicely; isn’t too tough, and is even toddler approved! I mean, nut-likers will eat it either way, right? What are doing for your birthday? This has been my main banana bread recipe for 7 years now! I swapped the bourbon and cloves for rum and cardamom, just based on what was around, and this is hands-down the best banana bread recipe I’ve ever made. I like using four bananas, olive oil instead of butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar with a couple swirls of honey, and subbing 1/2 cup of the flour with whole wheat flour. OO a new idea for your site.. “ask deb” Swapped-in my favorite pumpkin pie spice mix (includes your spices and cardamom and ginger) for the nutmeg/cinnamon/cloves. I think the processor added more air into the batter. Yum – more brown bananas needed and then roasted. This is hands down the best! Thanks!!!! My brother (a VERY picky eater), loved it! Thanks for the great recipe! Usually about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon fine sea or table salt per “stick” (1/2 cup per butter). A whole bunch of cooking notes and tips: First, crepes are magical. I keep trying to find a banana bread recipe that is easy AND delicious. You really can’t beat something that can be made in a single bowl with just a stirring/scraping implement. My husband bought something like five huge bunches of bananas a week ago, and I had exactly 3 1/2 bananas that reached the freckled stage. I’m planning to make a light sugar glaze with it and it’ll be Shabbat dessert tonight. Yet ANOTHER terrific recipe! I think, according to Chiquita, that you like perfect bananas: “I’m Chiquita banana and I’ve come to say – Bananas have to ripen in a certain way- When they are fleck’d with brown and have a golden hue – Bananas taste the best and are best for you – You can put them in a salad – You can put them in a pie-aye – Any way you want to eat them – It’s impossible to beat them – But, bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator – So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator.”. 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla Just made this and couldn’t wait for it to cool to try it, so I had a warm slice. I divided the flour into 95 grams of wholemeal and 95 grams of regular flour. Maybe something with cheese and/or garlic? I put some peanut butter in there to make up for it- hopefully that will be successful. Not spotted but down right black, my mother says, the riper the better. I used smaller sized pans and burned my bread slightly but it was still good. I must say, it’s making the house smell lovely! This looks amazing. So while the bread was great on top and halfway down the middle, I found the texture a bit gummy (?) I added 2 handfuls of mixed, broken nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews) to the mixture. But, to my surprise, we were able to have a some a few mins. I know this recipe has been on the site since 2006 but I just gotta say that this is the best banana bread ever! I would either cut the baking soda to 3/4 tsp or bump up the brown sugar to 1 cup–that probably would be sufficient to neutralize all the soda and keep the lift. Thanks again, Deb. Get the recipe: Smitten Kitchen’s Banana Bread. Great recipe, thank you. I also only used a beaten egg white (instead of a whole egg). We’ve had it for two years and barely made a dent. In the end I stopped baking because the top was getting very brown! Or is that a sin? I might even play with cutting the sugar even more next time to a scant 1/2 cup. Well, this will be my husband & I’s first Thanksgiving in our home and we have decided to make dinner on our own. Did it need to be baked longer or maybe I should have used less banana for less moisture? It came out perfectly, and the spices were just right. They get liduidy soft but that can make for extra moist banana bread! My near black bananas were extra large and soft so the mashing was easy, but I managed to explode most of the butter into the microwave while melting it (oops, won’t try that technique again), so I added a bit of oil to make up for the lost butter, and I used a bit of pumpkin pie spice and a tablespoon of Amaretto instead of the recipe spices and bourbon. I have NEVER seen a banana bread recipe that calls for nutmeg! But now I have to figure out how to make Bisquik at home! I also added some honey… hmm…. I also put a teaspoon of cocoa and a tablespoon of really strongly brewed coffee. I have nothing more to say. I went for the lower end of the sugar range, but then put a about 1/8c of washed raw sugar over the top to make a crunchy crust. My first batch is baking. Tried this recipe tonight with a few substitutions based on what I had available. Amazing! ;-) I go to your site first now when I’m looking for a recipe. It’s easy, faster and comes out great. This looks delish!!! I find freezing those “aged” bananas adds to the intense flavor… Love the way they slip out of the skins after they thaw!! :D I can never really leave a recipe alone, so I added and changed up some things: 1/2c honey {fresh from a hive upstate}, a handful of oats, a couple dashes of ground ginger, 1/2 as much butter {unsalted}, with some walnut oil to compensate, and some extra burbon. Thank u ❤️. My son is allergic. And I want to echo Megan’s comment above (#302). I’m not sure. Thank you Deb! Just want to let you know, you’re the first place I go searching for a particular recipe and, sure enough, you’ve got this banana bread recipe than I need to try! Also used 1 cup flour and 1/2 whole wheat, so I thought the buttermilk would keep it moist. i only had 3 bananas, though. @Genevieve I’m not Deb but that sounds amazing! Delicious and loved by my family. I will be using this as my go-to banana bread recipe forever. The end result was marvelous and the spices were just perfect. Ah, what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him, right? This was the ultimate holiday bread yesterday, and then this morning, after a night of settling into a dense, moist loaf in the refrigerator, it is unbelievably delicious: ready to be eaten cold and straight, room temp with a dab of cream cheese, or lightly toasted with butter. Fabulous. This is more of a general question but when you list brown sugar measurements, are they supposed to be packed or unpacked? The post will be coming soon. i did put in 3 T. of golden rum. Would be good with nuts too. Oh so delicious and moist muffins! Delicious! Well, mine is baking now. You must learn to love the freckle! I’m not even finished eating the first muffin I pulled from the tin, piping hot from the oven. The recipe is from one of my favorite bloggers and cookbook authors, Deb Perelman from the Smitten Kitchen (as if she needs introducing). Will be making this anytime I have old bananas from now on! I also used cake flour. :-) Is the bourbon for flavor or does the alcohol do something for the recipe? We are about to eat one before we go to sleep. I’ve got some Maker’s Mark bourbon infused with dates (let sit for several weeks, then strain and bottle) – it’ll be pure magic in this. This should be obvious from all the rest of the comments saying the same thing, but this is the best banana bread recipe that exists. I made this on Wednesday night at midnight… those black bananas were staring me in the face. Win-win-win. I think I just found a new favorite banana bread recipe. Which, incidentally, it never has. Just 30-minutes in my covection oven and viola! Awesome yummy treat!! (I only used 1/2 cup sugar so I reckon it’s okay for lunch, eh?) Aunt Dorme is turning in her grave as I type, my brother may never speak to me as I have substituted his all-time-favorite family recipe for this. Can you substitute or have an alternative recipe if you want to use honey? Very moist, dense, but not heavy. Love it!! Thanks again for another winner! M – Even funnier that I spelled lily wrong and had to go back and edit it AND I’m using the new Firefox with the built-in field spell-checker. I’m so glad I found it and can’t wait to start reading my very first blog! Whatever it is, it’s good for banana bread. It clashes a bit with the cloves (in hindsight I should have predicted this). I can’t wait to try it in the morning! I followed the recipe absolutely to the letter (minus the bourbon) the first time, and the second time tried the simpler version from which this one was adapted. It is my new favorite recipe right now- it’s one of the best banana breads I’ve ever had. My nanners were well beyond this but I was still looking for a good recipe for them. I really should try the healthier revamp version of this recipe, the one with crunch millets! No one even wants to wait for the bread to cool! Would it still be as moist? Buckwheat-based came out flat. Recipes. Freckles hit the trash every time (sorry!). The texture. These are great! If you make these into muffins in a non-stick pan, then you won’t have all of that pesky one-handed slicing and wrapping of the loaf to do. Post author: Post published: December 27, 2020; Post category: Uncategorized; Added an extra 1/2 cup of flour, again to bring the mixture more to the consistency of a quick bread batter. I don’t know why the nuts make a difference, and my issue is certainly less important than allergies! Tastes delicious! I’ve been making several different recipes of banana bread recently. I also love bananas ripened just as you do… these babies are also great frozen for fruit smoothies…Yum!! After having an intense craving for it for two days straight (currently in the 9th month of my pregnancy) I started scouring the internet for recipes. (Love love love over-ripe bananas too) :).

I just made this recipe last night, and it will be my go-to one henceforth! also, i was craving this bread (which i’ve made once a week for 4 weeks now) a couple of days ago and i didn’t have bananas.

I always use the higher amount of sugar (it’s cake for me, really, not bread ). all in the food processor on #2 speed (once in the while i turn to 5 or 6) added the flour – blended on #1 then pushed to 4 or 5. About every other week I see bananas starting to go bad in the corner of our kitchen, and I am starting think someone has a plot out to get me because they know if they leave them there I will resort to baking banana bread (someone left enough for 2 loaves this week…) Whenever I use this recipe it is gone before the next morning.

If the batter is dry, put in a tablespoon or two of milk (even better use half-and-half). we tweaked it a bit to fit what we had in our kitchen and added chocolate chips. :( Thanks. Jen — It’s definitely likely that freshly ground spices are much stronger. There was only a slight hint of the coffee flavor and it complimented the brandy flavor nicely.
