Maui Banana Bread
Description
Maui Banana Bread uses ripe mashed bananas combined with sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Mixing the wet ingredients separately from the dry and then combining them gently helps keep the bread tender. The batter is baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit in a greased or parchment-lined 9x5 loaf pan for about 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
The finished banana bread has a moist yet light crumb with the natural sweetness and flavor of ripe bananas enhanced by the sugar and oil. After baking, it is important to cool the loaf completely for the best flavor and texture, as it is noted that the bread does not taste as good warm.
This banana bread stores well at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days and also freezes nicely when sliced and wrapped individually, making it convenient for packed lunches or on-the-go snacks.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 egg large
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 3 large very ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 9x5 loaf pan, or line with parchment.
- Whisk flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Whisk eggs, sugar, mashed banana and oil in a large bowl.
- Add dry ingredients to banana mixture and stir until just combined.
- Spread batter into prepared pan.
- Bake about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Transfer to a wire rack. Let the loaf cool in the pan 15 minutes.
- Run a knife around the inside of the ban to release the bread, and turn out onto rack.
- Allow the loaf to cool completely. (It won't taste as good warm, trust me).
Notes
- Store the banana bread airtight at room temperature and consume within three days for optimal freshness.
- Freeze individual slices wrapped well to use in lunch bags or for picnics later.
