I was just wondering, would banana muffin mix, be the same as the banana bread recipe? |

ja fiz umas vinte verzes, sempre deu certo, com ameixas, com passas, com amendoin, com coco, com castanha de caju, com aveia em vez de farinha, com farinha integral, com um pote de yogurte, este ficou monstro, foi comido emdez minutos
vale a pena |

|

I tried this out twice and it worked perfect both times. But a smile on a friends face =). You were right on the money with the consistancy of the bread -- this recipe is Perfect. Not too cakey, not too rocky. I noticed that both times, it also tasted better on the second/third day after baking it. I guess after it absorbed some air. I also added about 1/3 cup raisins and 1/3 more nuts than the recipe called for but it turned out great! |

|

Sonali-
it's probably tough because you blended the flour in too much. Overmixing flour=gluten development=tough quickbread. This mixing method, where you fold the liquids into the dry, just until moistened, is what my ma calls the "muffin method". Take it easy and you'll have tender lovely muffins/quickbreads every time.
I'm going to make this right now, for brekkie! Thanks for an awesome website, sir. I knew those frozen bananas would come in handy someday. |

I add pecans and a tablespoon on cinnamon instead of vanilla. Yummy!!! My family loves my banana bread. |

My recipe makes great muffins also. We like to slice them in half and put a slab of peanut butter between the layers. |

|
|
My banana bread is in the oven now, but I added some spices (cinamon, nutmeg, a bit of cloves ground up and a pinch of ginger) to the original recipe.
Adding spices isin't much extra work, and adds lots of flavour. |

|
|
Hi There
A year ago I made a delicious banana loaf, where I mashed the banana until smooth for the recipe, But recently saw a recipe where you chop the banana into chunks then fold into bread mixture... once baked and cooled, when I sliced it open , I noticed that the banana patched in the loaf were purple !! Does anyone know if this is a normal reaction? I immediatley baked a second loaf to see if I had perhaps done something wrong, but the same thing happened!
It still tastes good though. Can anyone shed a little light on my confusion?

What I'd like to see, is the banana measurement in all banana bread recipes expressed in cups instead of in "bananas". Often supermarkets sell bags of very ripe bananas quite cheaply, and a baker must cut out large pieces of bruised areas. I try to estimate the # of bananas that might equal - but then, bananas also come in different sizes. |

Sonali -
Another thing that will make non-yeast breads more tender is using "soft wheat" white flour. It has less protein and wheat gluten than regular white flour. |

|
|
I have been baking banana bread for years (Betty Crocker), but I found a great recipe using yogurt in Cooking Light.
Anyway, the way I ripen the bananas is this:
When the bananas start to get there brown spots and no one in the house will eat them, I put them in the freezer and start a collection (watch them diving out of the freezer - it does hurt!).
They turn brown and all the sugars and starches break down and leaves you with brown bananas and a wonderful mush in the middle.
This leaves you with a wonderfully ripened banana and mush to put into your bread. |
