Description

This tastes even better the next day. Wrap it up in plastic wrap and leave it out on the counter overnight to allow the flavors to develop.

Ingredients

  • 5 Tablespoons Butter
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 2 whole Egg Whites
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-½ cup Banana, Very Ripe, Mashed
  • 1-¾ cup Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ cups Heavy Cream
  • ⅓ cups Walnuts, Chopped (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray the bottom only of a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Beat butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add sugars; beat well. Add egg, egg whites, and vanilla; beat until well blended. Add banana and beat on high speed for 30 seconds.

Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Add to the butter mixture, alternating with cream, ending with the flour mixture. Add walnuts to the batter; mix well.

Pour batter into the loaf pan. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes.

Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on the wire rack.

Very good – made this recipe as muffins – my kids liked them too. Easy recipe – had all ingredients at home. Very good

I was concerned this would be ultra sweet with the addition of brown sugar but I was wrong. This is the best and most amazingly moist bread with plenty of banana flavor that I have ever made. This is defnitely a “keeper” recipe.
