Re: Things To Do With One Banana: A Cooking Thread

There's this yeast bread, which I've made a few times and is very tasty. I also have a banana bread recipe that's written per-banana, so you can multiply it by the number of bananas you have. For one banana, you'll probably get about a dozen muffins.

1/4 c. softened butter and/or canola oil
1/2 c. brown sugar

1 egg
1 overripe banana
2 Tbsp. milk

1 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon*
1/4 tsp. nutmeg*

1/2 c. chocolate chips*
1/2 c. chopped walnuts*

*Optional

1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease pan(s) with butter and coat the insides with cinnamon-sugar, or prepare muffin pan with liners.
2. Cream together sugar and butter/oil.
3. Mash banana; add egg, milk, and banana to sugar mixture.
4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and nutmeg if using.
5. Gradually mix flour mixture into wet ingredients.
6. Stir in chocolate chips and/or walnuts if using.
7. Pour batter into prepared pans and bake: 60-70 minutes for full-sized loaf pans, ~40 minutes for mini-loaf pans, 16-18 minutes for muffins, 12-14 minutes for mini-muffins. Banana bread is done when inserted toothpick comes out clean.

you're amazing. I scoured the internet for hours to find a banana bread recipe that didn't require 3-4 nasty bananas when I usually only have one. this will do nicely and I love making muffins!

Thanks! I remember scouring the internet for banana bread recipes myself a while back, and what I ended up doing was comparing three or four of them and using that information to make up my own, conveniently-modular, recipe. I've made it a bunch of times, with anything from 1 to 4 bananas, so it's well-tested; you may just have to play around with baking times a bit, depending on your oven. I hope you enjoy!

Oh, thanks! Somehow I overlooked this comment before. Seconding the goodness of having a 1-banana recipe.

No problem! And yeah, there's something pretty great about being able to make exactly as much banana bread as you have bananas, rather than having to plan ahead. I hope you enjoy!
