Best ever banana bread:
recipe from The Meat Free Monday Cookbook
- 9 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup superfine sugar
- 2 large or extra large eggs, at room temperature
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup ground rice flour
- 1/2 cup cornflour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Superfine sugar (sometimes called baking sugar) is granulated sugar that has been ground into finer crystals than your regular granulated white sugar. Bakers like it because the smaller crystals cream very easily into butter, this leads to products that have a finer crumb and lighter texture when finished. You can make your own superfine sugar by by processing regular granulated sugar in the food processor until it is very fine. A minute or so is usually more than enough time to process the sugar, and the newly chopped crystals will work just as well in recipes as store-bought superfine sugar. I was to lazy to make my own so I just purchased it. Preheat oven 350°F.


My bread took only 1 hour to bake, so make sure to keep an eye on it.

sorry
Thank you for this recipy! I replaced rice flour by oak flour and I hadn’t any pumpking pie spices ready so added only some cinnamon but it turned out just delicious! My first banana bread ever!
Yay Valeria! I’m so happy that your first banana bread was a SUCCESS! Thanks so much for letting me know, and I love your substitution of oat for rice flour! I may have to try that next time as I tend to have oats on hand all of the time. xoxo, Jacquelyn
Do you have any sugarless banana nut breads.

That does look so good. I love banana bread and have never thought about using either superfine sugar or cornmeal – and like choc chip cookies, sooo many ways to make it. This is a new-to-me one!
Welcome home & glad the trip was a hit!
Welcome back – cant wait to see you soon!!!
Hey girl I just was thinking about you. When are you coming back to blog world? Miss you!
What a lovely trip you had – banana bread is a winner – love that you used rice flour

Your trip sounds fantastic, I live on the opposite coast from some of the family and I agree it’s such a loss not to be able to see them every day.
Your bread looks perfect, I start to crave these comfort foods right about now…could it be I’m already starting to long for fall??
