How to Make Banana Bead For The Bread Machine
- In a medium bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with 1/2 cup sour cream or buttermilk until completely smooth and creamy.
- (Optional) Cover and refrigerate the banana mixture overnight for enhanced flavor.
- Add the following ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order specified by your machine's manual (this may vary): 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
- Pour the mashed banana mixture over the dry ingredients.
- Select the "quick bread" or "cake" cycle on your bread machine.
- If your machine has a crust setting, choose "medium".
- Press "start".
- After the first kneading cycle, use a spatula to gently scrape down the sides and bottom of the pan, ensuring all ingredients are incorporated.
- Once the bread machine signals completion, check doneness by gently pressing the top of the bread; it should spring back slightly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Carefully remove the bread pan from the machine.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
