Ina Garten Banana Bread

I'm constantly searching for methods to reduce our waste, so when I came across a bunch of bananas that were about to go bad, I knew just what to do: bake Ina Garten Banana Bread!

This dish is quite simple to make, regardless of one's level of culinary expertise; it only takes around ten minutes to put together and an hour to bake. This would make an impression on coworkers around the holidays ( like Healthy Pop Tarts ), especially if you're a novice!

All-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, brown sugar, butter, eggs, and overripe bananas are used to make Ina Garten Banana Bread. This recipe yields one loaf and takes around 70 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients:

Ingredients:

  • Half a cup of unsalted butter melted.
  • 1 3/4 cups flour (all-purpose).
  • One cup of chopped toasted pecans.
  • 1/2 cup of sugar, granulated.
  • 1 tsp baking soda.
  • 1 tsp finely ground cinnamon.
  • Half a teaspoon of fine salt.
  • 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.
  • 2 big eggs, whisked just enough.
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk (yogurt or sour cream can be used).
  • Half a cup of finely packed light brown sugar.
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract.
  • 4 medium-sized, overripe, mashed bananas (about 1 1/2 cups).

Steps: 

  1. Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with oil.
  2. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a large basin.
  3. Cream butter and brown sugar in a large basin with an electric mixer until creamy.
  4. Stir well after adding the eggs and mashed bananas to the sugar-butter mixture.
  5. Mix the flour mixture into the banana mixture just until combined.
  6. Fill the loaf pan with oiled batter.
  7. A toothpick put into the middle should come out clean after baking in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes.
  8. After allowing the bread to cool in the pan for ten minutes, move it to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  9. Bread goes well with whipped cream, cheese, fresh fruit, peach blueberry crumble, butter, cream cheese, nut butter, and autumn sangria. It also goes well with honey or maple syrup.

Steps: 

Notes:

  • For maximum taste, use ripe bananas with brown patches.
  • Before combining, sift the flour to get rid of any lumps and to give it some air.
  • To prevent a firm texture, whisk the mixture just until mixed, being careful not to overmix.
  • For added taste and texture, you can add chocolate chips or almonds.

How Should Banana Bread Leftovers Be Stored?

  • Within the refrigerator: Banana bread leftovers may be kept in the refrigerator for five days in an airtight container.
