Name: Ultimate Banana Bread
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 60 min
Yield: 10 servings
Ingredients: ½ cup unsalted butter; 1 cup packed light brown sugar; 5 whole ripe bananas; 2 whole eggs; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 1 tsp fine sea salt; 1 tsp ground cinnamon; ⅛ tsp nutmeg; 1 tsp baking soda; 1 tsp baking powder; 2 cup all-purpose flour; 2 tbsp turbinado sugar

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan generously on all sides.

2

Melt the butter in a large bowl or let it cool slightly if already melted. Whisk in the brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain.

½ cup unsalted butter (115g, plus more for pan)

1 cup packed light brown sugar (190g)

3

Stir the mashed banana into the butter mixture, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract. Sprinkle the salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and baking powder over the surface of the batter and whisk until evenly dispersed, then whisk about 10 more times to be sure nothing is hiding at the bottom.

5 whole ripe bananas (about 510g mashed, medium-large)

2 whole eggs (large)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp fine sea salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon (heaped)

⅛ tsp nutmeg (freshly grated, optional)

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

4

Add the flour and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. It should fill the pan nearly to the brim. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar generously over the top.

2 cup all-purpose flour (260g)

2 tbsp turbinado sugar (25g, or raw sugar)

5

Bake for 55 to 65 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Check near the upper edges as well to ensure there are no uncooked pockets. Let the bread cool completely in the pan.
