One more trick. Once the cake is done, wrap it in plastic film till the next day. That is the key to get a really MOIST banana bread (it's the Hawaiian way).

Agreed except for the most important bit of info....THE RECIPE WITH MEASUREMENTS. Thank goodness another commenter was gracious enough to list them. Thank you for that

[@chelly9131]

Except when to add the sugar butter mixture

[@pjleash]

For those wondering about why their butter hasn't solidified, It does take a lot longer than 10-15 minutes. The pan has to completely cool down. At that point, the butter begins to solidify. Once it begins to solidify, I start gathering the butter into the center of the pan using a silicone spatula. It takes about 30-40 minutes.

[@Rayis4444]

Put it into the freezer

[@laurarivera4088]

I’d recomendable taking the butter out of the pan once it’s done so that it doesn’t continue cooking and can cool down more easily. To cool it down even more quickly, I placed the butter in a medium bowl, which I then placed inside a larger bowl containing iced water. Check on it every now and then though because it can get too hard without you even noticing. I also recommend giving it a mix or two while it’s cooling because the edges of the butter touching the bowl harden quicker. I haven’t done an official comparison but I think this is quicker than putting it in the fridge because it cools down the plate immediately.

3:14 Quick Tip, if you're already using a hand mixer, you can use that to mash your bananas. You're gonna be adding it back to your batter anyways so it doesn't matter if some of it gets into it plus you get mashed bananas in seconds.

[@user-zv2jt4om7z]

What i love about the tasty perfect/ultimate recipes is that its really really good, making it the perfect blueprint for my personal improvements, which in turn make them even better according to friends and family. (Its usually me playing with how i treat eggs, how i change the amount of sugar and which sugar, some spices like anise, kurkuma, cinnamon, nutmeg etc etc, and how i treat the butter) I still need to find out how and why kurkuma works so great in sweet baked goods, i searched the internet but cant find anything. Like if you add a little bit to apple pie filling or to brownies it does something, you know its there, you can taste a difference but idk what the difference is. Its like magic, hence why i nicknamed it “kitchen magic”

Oh my god this banana bread was 10/10! I baked it for about 50 minutes and it was a bit underdone, but it made it soooo moist (almost like a mix between a cake and brownie and banana pudding) and the flavor was absolutely amazing!!! I used less flour and accidentally set it on broiler for the last 10 minutes which made the top charred but holy cow the layer underneath was actually incredible??? My parents love it~ Will definitely make again!!!!! edit: I also used only about 3/4 stick of butter without browning(lack of time) and just used a cup of strawberry greek yogurt Still kind of amazed that it all worked together so well LOL

If you want to ripen bananas, leave them together with avocados (which will also ripen). This is a great way to ripen avocados too.

[@curioustraderAUS]

You can also add a ripe banana to the underripe bananas. This is how they get a hand of green bananas to turn just ripe by the it reaches the store for purchase.

@@YeetusTheFetus yeah I know so the joke kind of works! On one level that's kind of neat, on another level it leaves them vulnerable to one disease wiping out the entire banana supply. Which fun fact is what happened to the Gros Michel breed of banana in the 1950s, that's why the whole world basically switched to Cavendish.

[@imogdl8234]

hi, do you have a recipe for banana pancake?

[@AshleyMcClendon]

@@imogdl8234 hello, this recipe uses only bananas, no flour and I got references from YT videos. After a few failed attempts I tweaked them to better suit me... but "simply" put: • 2 bananas (medium to large) • 1 egg • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder • dash of cinnamon (I did this on my own because it pairs well with bananas, can also use nutmeg) • butter (for greasing the pan, so amt varies on your preference) - in a bowl, mash bananas with a fork (should still have a few lumps, so not too smooth) - add the egg and baking powder, mixing until incorporated with the bananas (the overall texture should still have banana lumps) - melt butter over medium heat in skillet (my stove ranges from 1-9 so I set it on 5/6 & I found non-stick to work best) - I use an ice cream scoop (equivalent to 1/4 cup) and add mix to skillet (like traditional pancakes) letting cook on first side for about 5-7 minutes or until nearly solid on the top half (for visual think of the "bubbles" that form with traditional pancakes) then flip and cook for additional 3-4 minutes or until cooked completely through - repeat until done (this recipe makes me about 6-9 pancakes) ● NOTE ● • These will be about 3-5 inches in diameter, so not large by any means AND • overall cook time will depend on your stove, but it definitely takes longer than traditional pancakes and it is definitely best to do so on the medium temp because they can burn easily 😉 These are so delicious and I truly hope this helps. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask 😊
