    I allow my bananas to ripen until the skin is almost black. I was taught by one of my elders that when you allow your babanas to ripen on your counter like that, the more sugars develop in the fruit. Works every time.

    #1 seems the best. Many bananas and brown sugar just makes more sense, adding vanilla to it and brushing some butter on it as soon as it gets out of the over to give it a shiny wet look

    Actually, I always cream the butter and then add the sugar. The butter should be room temperature to begin with (that's why it splattered & didn't work - hard butter is for pastry dough and is cut in not mixed). Start beating the soft butter until it lightens in color then gradually beat in the sugar - until fluffy. The texture will be mixed but look a little like clouds stacked on each other. Then the eggs are beaten in one at a time. The reason for that is so that each is fully incorporated with the butterfat. Every one or two eggs, scrape the bowl, again to ensutre proper incorporation with the butter.
    The above steps mean it will be a fully mixed batter with a light texture before adding leavening.
    In the US, medium bananas are not generally available. So 5 Us bananas makes 2 loaves of banana bread.

    #1 sounds the best to me. I would add 1/2 cup of toasted pecans or walnuts plus a little cinnamon which are part of my favorite recipe from an old Readers' Digest cookbook.

    I tried the 3rd receipe it came out very nice! Thanks. I reduced sugar to 3/4 cups. Yr description says 1 1/2 cups flour but yr demonstration was 2 cups so i used 2 cups. I liked it cause no gadgets to use! Just simple and straight forward!

    • @GaiaCarney
      @GaiaCarney 5 дней назад

      @fayeg3026 - I made #3 with reduced sugar, as well! I only used 1 1/2 C flour and it came out perfect! I baked it for 65 mins, but 60 would have left the bread a little less dry 😋

    I'm watching from Jamaica and we usually mix the butter and sugar with mixer till it's fluffy. My way is similar to No. 1 banana bread but I add nuts to mine. Best recipe 👌

  • @Lotuspriestess

    I always beat the eggs with the sugar at any recipe. It helps to dissolve the sugar. Undisolved sugar flatten the bread/ cake.

  • @patparada44
    @patparada44 6 дней назад +6

    No, the sugar and soften butter need to be creamed with the electric beater, it does make a difference.

  • @celestemichon1038
    @celestemichon1038 9 дней назад +5

    I believe number one with the walnuts would be the best in my personal opinion you can’t call a banana bread unless you have a few bananas in there like five❤

  • @revecarodriguez709
    @revecarodriguez709 6 дней назад +3

    I’m from 🇺🇸 Texas , I buy the bags of bananas that are a bit more overripe than yours ! This works better when you mash , sweeter taste, plus I add chopped pecans to mine , I let mine get a bit brown on top ! I’ve switched over to buttermilk, my personal preference think it gives it a better taste ! If I don’t have buttermilk just regular I make it by adding lemon or vinegar!

  • @ajnamdeplume
    @ajnamdeplume 5 дней назад +1

    Pass on all.
    Always use measuring spoons, especially with salt.
    If you can hear the bread make a sound like a wet sponge, it too gooey and mushy. It's supposed to be a dense, yet moist and crumbly bread, not gummy.
    Part of the problem is you didn't actually cream the butter and sugar. You can still hear the grit of the sugar. You can mush the butter and sugar together a bit before using a hand blender to cream the mixture. Creaming means the sugar has almost totally dissolved into the butter. Leaving it gritty affects the texture of the bread, and how the flour absorbs it.
    Sour cream or yogurt adds acidity and will make the dough tender, and help it to rise.
    You can go eggless by using baking powder and baking soda.

    To swiftly bring chilled eggs to room temperature just add it/them to warm tap water letting them sit for 2-3 minutes. It’s a quick fix that makes the difference. 😊

    I think there are too much added sugar, if you let the banana overripe, it will be sweeter. But I like the sour cream version but I’ll change the white sugar to the brown turbinado and I like nuts.

    The best part to me is sour cream can be replaced with yogurt since I don’t use sour cream for anything. Buying a tub of sour cream to make one loaf of banana bread and throw the rest of it away is wasteful.
