I comforted myself way too much yesterday.
Fresh banana bread right from the oven ranks right up near the top of the list for me.
I intentionally don't mash the bananas perfectly, so the surprise chunks of warm banana are a bonus.

ReplyDeleteHello Candy,
ReplyDeletethat banana bread makes my mouth watering.
Best greetings, Johanna
Hi Candy! Looks so good. Wish I could come over and help you 'comfort'!

Hi Candy, I hope all is well in your house and things getting back together a bit.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't use food as a comfort? Your banana bread looks fantastic and I'm sure, just hit ths spot! i love the fact that you even have fiesta loaf tin, or at least it looks like it is anyway. Not being American, I'm completely sure of what fiesta did. I only heard about them after I managed to buy a complete set in Cinabar, in a thrift shop here in New Zealand. I researched it and was amazed at how iconic it is in the States.
Anyhoo my friend keep well, have another slice of banana bread and save one for me.

Looks wonderful! That certainly is a comfort food, I know it comforts me when I even smell it cooking in the oven:)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures of the bread are very good...your an excellent photographer. I think I'm in the mood to bake some banana bread now...even though it is 90 degrees outside.
Blessings,

I think you should comfort yourself as much as you find necessary! That bread looks heavenly.
ReplyDeleteI showed this to my hubby and he said to please cut him a slice. Looks yummy!!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy....but so does your dough bowl!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your lovely comments ... I may have to go buy some overripe bananas, just so I can make another batch.
ReplyDeleteYes, that is indeed a Fiesta loaf pan in Paprika.
The recipe I use is pretty standard, and the only thing I would mention is that it is important to bake it the full length of time to make sure the center is baked completely.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

Yum, I love banana bread the year round, but especially toasted on a cold morning.
