Instructions
For Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Grease your loaf pan or line muffin pan with parchment paper cupcake liners.
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until combined.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer add mashed bananas, eggs, sugar, butter, evaporated milk and vanilla. Mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Don't over mix.
- If using nuts fold them in.
- Pour batter into a greased loaf pan or if doing muffins use a small measuring cup to fill just above the half way mark in the parchment paper liners.
- If using streusel topping sprinkle it over your batter.
- Bake at 350°F for 55-60 minutes if using a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan.40-45 minutes for a 7 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 2 inch loaf pan or about 20-25 minutes for muffins. Or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Carefully remove from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Slice and enjoy! *It's amazing with butter*
Streusel Topping
- In a small bowl mix brown sugar and flour. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until you have a course crumb mixture. If using walnuts stir in.
Notes
There are a variety of loaf pan sizes so make sure you watch your loaves as they bake and check the middles with a toothpick until it comes out clean to ensure they are done.
