How to Make Banana Berry Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup melted unsalted margarine, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries - your choice!)
- Pour batter evenly into prepared loaf pans.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped walnuts evenly over the tops of the loaves.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If browning too quickly, tent with foil.
- Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
