The secret to the Best Banana Bread is...

submitted by Cynabuns to Recipes 3.0 yearsMay 1, 2021 20:55:04 ago (+32/-0)     (Recipes)

...Freezing the fully ripened unpeeled bananas for a day or two, at least, then thaw and add to your recipe. I have stored bananas in my freezer for months and they thaw beautifully. Bonus, something about the freezing releases all those wonderful oils making the bread even more flavorful.

I have this recipe taped to my Red Star bread machine.

==

Banana Bread

2 medium sized bananas, peeled and mashed
2 eggs
1 Tbs Oil
2 Cups flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1-1/3 Cups Sugar (reserve 1 Tbs to sprinkle on top of dough)

Use the Quick Bread cycle and pull the bread about 12 minutes before the timer shuts off.

=

I try to have one or two loaves in the freezer at any given time as they make great last minute gifts. It's dangerously delicious :)

Dude is right on everything except skunks. Best scent ever. Whenever I drive by a dead skunk, I slow down, roll down the windows, and breath it in deep. The best.

Why unpeeled? That's not a good idea. It will be incredibly difficult to get the peel off.
I do agree about storing bananas in a freezer. I got some in my freezer right now that have been there for months. If I ever want to make a smoothie or bake something there they are.

[ - ] Cynabuns [op] 3 points 3.0 yearsMay 1, 2021 22:36:16 ago (+3/-0)

If they are fully ripened, they're going to be mush inside, which is good for bread, but yeah very hard to peel! I use scissors to snip the thawed end and then squeeze out the banana like toothpaste. I stumbled on this a few years ago and it works like magic.

[ - ] mattsixteen24 2 points 3.0 yearsMay 1, 2021 22:42:04 ago (+2/-0)

If I have bananas that are starting to bruise all over, I just peel them and throw them in a bag in the freezer. Then there is no need to thaw them to get the peel off.

[ - ] Cynabuns [op] 2 points 3.0 yearsMay 1, 2021 22:49:08 ago (+2/-0)

The peel is the storage bag ;)

[ - ] mattsixteen24 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 1, 2021 23:01:59 ago (+1/-0)

No, my way is better! I joke. To each his own.

[ - ] Cynabuns [op] 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 1, 2021 23:07:27 ago (+1/-0)

No, my way is better! :)

Seriously though, there's something about freezing with the peel on that releases all those awesome oils.

OK, throwing them into the freezer now, 1 naked in a "condom" and 1 fully clothed virgin!

So, how long can they last simply as fully clothed, or do they begin deteriorating after the recommended 2 days?

Showing up in court for a drug possession offense wearing a 420 hat and jacket.

Bringing banana bread to the judge would smooth that right over

[ - ] AlexanderMorose13 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 2, 2021 00:23:15 ago (+0/-0)

Possibly. But risky if he's paying attention and thinks you're trying to poison him.

[ - ] germ22 2 points 3.0 yearsMay 1, 2021 21:50:45 ago (+2/-0)

I don't have a bread maker, what temperature and how long would i bake this in an oven?

[ - ] Cynabuns [op] 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 1, 2021 21:59:25 ago (+1/-0)

Good question, I've never made it in the oven. I'd have to go to my Joy of Cooking book or try allrecipes.com for info on this.

[ - ] germ22 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 10, 2021 01:24:57 ago (+0/-0)

i tried your recipe. Baked it in the oven at 350F for about an hour.
it's not that good.

Glad I could help. I saw he wasn't legit, didn't even write like you, and anyone spoofing a username to the point that it's almost indistinguishable is grounds for banning.

You're a vet. It's not hard to distinguish the mentality of an alpha from a bitch. Keep it up, I have many things to learn from you. Let no one get in your way.

I usually use this recipe: https://www.womensweeklyfood.com.au/recipes/banana-bread-recipe-10338 , although not always and rarely with walnuts. I sometimes wing it, leave out the maple syrup or use a recipe without maple syrup but I have NEVER seen one without brown sugar before, and I think that would effect it more than anything. I'm aghast!

I have never heard of freezing bananas improving the bread though, I usually just use "fresh" ones before they go off. If I do freeze them I peel first. I might have to try it.

I have a bread machine. I will try this. Thank you.

:)

It's addicting! Pro-tip: slice the bread before freezing and it will come apart and thaw faster.

That'll be interesting....

If you're actually you, remember what he said about moms.

A.) I said a lot of things about moms
2.) Who is "he"?
