Chewy Banana Bread

My second time to make Banana Bread and I'm glad DH loves it! I baked twice when he's here for a vacation. It's just the same preparation as my first Banana Bread, only I added more sugar and banana.

1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1 cup brown sugar
3 mashed bananas
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup all purpose cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice

In a mixing bowl, mix the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add bananas, eggs, and vanilla and continue mixing until incorporated. In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, and walnuts. Add the dry ingredients to the batter, then the sour cream. Pour the batter to the prepared loaf mold. Bake fo 50-55 minutes in about175 ̊C(350 ̊F).

My third Banana Bread was made into a cupcake like above photo. I think it's better, not only save time to slice but also the cake was easily baked.

B is for Baked Banana Bread

For today, I'm featuring my very first baked banana bread in an oven toaster only. I remember my older sister making banana bread to give away for close friends during Christmas Season. Anyways, I adapted the recipe from Cindy Harris of Daily Bread. I like the way she presented her shows in podcast, very simple instructions. I made some changes, mostly my friends are not fun of eating too sweet cake/bread.

100g butter (in my case, the butter is room temperature)

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 mashed bananas

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup all purpose cream (plus I squeezed drops of lemon juice)

In a mixing bowl, mix the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add bananas, eggs, and vanilla and continue mixing until incorporated. In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, and walnuts. Add the dry ingredients to the batter, then the sour cream. Pour the batter to the prepared loaf mold. Bake fo 50-55 minutes in about175 ̊C(350 ̊F).

and we searched the whole world through,

we'd go "bananas" trying to find

a better "bunch" than you!"
