      Perfect Banana Bread

      Perfect Banana Bread - Sprinkle of Country

      This recipe is one I grew up with and have enjoyed since childhood. It originally came from my Great Aunt who is a wonderful cook and baker! This perfect banana bread always disappears when I take it into work or make it for holiday breakfasts! It is also another great way to use up your extra ripe bananas at home. I have found it is even better with more bananas and I generally use 4-5 bananas for this recipe instead of the 3-4 listed in the ingredients. These chocolate chip banana muffins are also a great way to use up those extra ripe muffins!

      Preparation Of Perfect Banana Bread

      Preheat your oven to 350°.

      Although the ingredients are only slightly different the taste between these and the banana muffins is completely different. The recipes start out the same though, by pealing the extra ripe bananas and mixing them until they are almost to a liquid consistency and then adding in the white sugar and vegetable shortening. I then mix this until the vegetable shortening is in very small pieces. It will not mix completely, but you do not want large clumps of shortening. Continue with adding in the eggs and vanilla and then mix to completely form your cream mixture.

      Continue making the dough by adding int he flour and baking soda, I do not premix these ingredients. Mix completely. To add extra moisture to the bread add a dollop of sour cream and mix in. This isn’t necessary if you don’t have any on hand, but does make the bread extra moist if you happen to have some in your fridge.

      Baking

      Bake your bread for 45 minutes covered by foil if your using regular bread pans and then uncover for the last 10-15 minutes. Bread should be golden brown when done. This recipe makes 2 regular sized loaves or 4 mini loaves of perfect banana bread. Make sure to adjust your cooking time down approximately 10-15 minutes if you are making mini loaves.

      2 Loaves full size of Banana Bread

      Ingredients

      3-4 Extra Ripe Bananas

      1 Cup Granulated (White) Sugar

      1.5 Teaspoons Vanilla

      2 Cups Flour

      1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
