Make Perfect Banana Bread







You can make perfect banana bread by adding these easy steps to any banana bread recipe you already have. This will spice up a family recipe and add a bit more flavor to this easy bread.


Instructions


1. Plan on adding at least one more banana to your recipe. This will add flavor and eliminate any dryness that banana bread tends to have.


2. Freeze all ripe bananas that you have a few days before you plan to make banana bread. You can freeze just one at a time until you have enough or freeze a bunch at once.


3. Defrost the bananas in a bowl on a counter top about 12 hours before you plan to bake. The freezing and defrosting process causes your bananas to have a stronger flavor.


4. Use salted butter in a stick form instead of margarine or vegetable oil spreads.


5. Combine wet ingredients in one container and dry ingredients in another.


6. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients only until moist. Over mixing will make your bread tough.


7. Sprinkle brown sugar over the top of your bread batter just before you place it in the oven. This will create a sweet glaze.


8. Serve warm bread with cream cheese.
