Can you please help me making Banana bread

I"d like a banana bread recipe that doesn't turn out to be heavy like a fudge. This is what happened to me the last time I tried making banana bread It was good just to heavy to really eat by itself.

Best Banana nut bread recipe ever...

Make sure the Bananas are super ripe (lots of brown speckling)

Banana Nut Bread

3 ripe bananas 1 C flour 1 C sugar 1 egg

1 tsp baking soda 1/2 Cup melted butter chopped walnuts



Mash bananas. Add all other ingredients except nuts

And mix well with elec. Mixer. Add nuts

Pour into loaf pan. Bake for 50 min., until top is light

Brown and toothpick stuck in center comes out dry. Let cool slightly, and run knife around edges. Then

Invert onto flat surface…turn over, and cool.

Here's another one I like too ... nice and moist, and mouthwatering when eaten warm.

Mix the ingredients in the order written until pourable.

1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups sifted flour
1 tsp baking soda
3 large ripe bananas, mashed well

1/2 cup walnuts (optional and added after batter is already well mixed )

Pour into loaf pan, preferably glass.
Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes, check bread at 50 mins with toothpick.

I always sprinkle the top with just a leetle cinammon, but it's just as good without.

Man... Im dying to try these now. I love it with a thick slice of butter heated back up in the microwave/fresh out of the oven

Banana bread works best if you let the bananas turn completely black before using them. They are very soft and squishy, but they are at their sweetest then and the bread will mix better. You should be able to mash them easily with a fork.

Ripe=black skin.

I have a friend who will only make banana bread with black, thawed out bananas. And let me tell ya, I will never make banana bread again without using pre-frozen bananas!

She let's them freeze for a day and then let them thaw for how ever long it takes them to get nice and goopy. It's like thawing them out releases the juices and really mixes into the batter.

Also a great way to keep the black bananas from going too bad until your ready to make the bread.

Thank you everyone I guess now I have to just wait till I get another black banana to begin cooking
