How do you like your banana bread? We're split in my house. Do you go for the classic or loaded with nuts/chocolate?
Both rock, but loaded is the winner in my book!
Easily classic, but I'd never turn down either
Classic with butter!
Raisins and possibly walnuts if not plain. Usually plain with butter.
Wasgood brotha, I’m 20 years old & mexican , grinding hard to get out the hood, I can’t be 30 with nothing to show for so i smoke weed on my youtube channel 💯💯
Thanks for telling us why we shouldn't do something. Some CZcamsrs will just say not to use a stand mixer but will not say why we shouldn't which is frustrating. Thanks for the in depth explanations. It helps a lot! Love your videos, keep them coming. By the way, I made your Kung Pao chicken recipe a few weeks back. It was delish!!👍
Thanks for watching and thanks for trying the PAO! What did you think of the Szechuan PEPCORNS?
@@BrianLagerstrom Loved them but realized if you don't crush them enough it gives a gritty quality to the dish. So I make sure they're crushed pretty fine.
Using a stand mixer or over-mixing risks develop more gluten that will result in no rise and gummy hard crumb unless you use cake flour that has less protein.
Brian it's 2AM here in Australia, and now I want banana bread. Thanks a lot mate, thanks a lot.
Cheers! Thanks for watching
Hey, you in Brisbane? My fiancé loves to let bananas rot in our crisper. Head on over mate hahaha
I absolutely love and SO appreciate when you explain the WHYs… why the advantages to using “old” bananas, why you use saturated and unsaturated fats and what that does for the results. Thank you for making me not afraid to bake and experiment with your tips and tricks. Love it.
I’ve made hundreds of loaves of banana bread for a coffee shop. The best banana source I’ve found is very very ripe bananas peeled and frozen. Microwave for 2 minutes when needed for a very broken down banana with a syrupy banana juice. The best!!
What I loved about this video was that you included the explanations about everything for example the fact that using a mixer and incorporating air into the eggs can collapse the rise in the banana bread. Thank you so much.
Man, this timing is so perfect. I've received yesterday 10kg of free bananas and was considering banana bread as a way to speed up consumption. Thanks a lot!
Nice I hope you try it. Thank you for watching
Pop some overripe bananas into the freezer, leave them in the skin. You can pull some out next time you want to make it instead of needing to hurry and have them all now....unless, of course, you just want to eat that much banana bread now! You could also bake a batch of several loaves and freeze the loaves (or make some into muffins to freeze).
Banana bread freezes really well too so if you make a load to preserve the bananas you have but aren't going to eat 6 loaves of banana bread then wrap them in parchment and foil or cling and stick them in the freezer. Then you always have banana bread for when you want it. If you make it into muffins instead of a loaf they'll defrost even quicker too 😊
I like both versions. This recipe is just perfect. I made the bread last weekend, and the whole family loved it. Thank you so much for your recipe.
Unreal recipe. The knowledge that we can all (I think) tell, comes from repetition and experience/experimentation is so valuable. From this channel I get that everything is personal taste to a degree but trust that the recipes provided are a good ‘jumping off’ point. Thank you so much.
When I was just looking for a bread, my favorite chef published this🤗 THANKS BRIAN 👌
Thank you for explaining the proper leavening/moisture issue in breads made with aged bananas. It addresses all the recent "hits and misses" we've experienced. I so appreciate you modifying the recipe for a smaller tin. Your recipes never miss and, I can't wait to try this one too! I hope you guys had a blast on vacation and, I can't wait to hear all about it!
Brian- I just wanted to say thank you for this recipe. I have my own home bakery business, and someone ordered banana bread which wasn't on my current menu, so my first thought was to see if you had a recipe for it. I knew I could trust you to make something amazing. I had a bit of extra batter and made a muffin to try, and it is the best banana bread I have ever had. All of your recipes stand out to me, and they all are absolutely amazing. I am only 17, so I know I have a long way to go. You inspire me so much and I love all your videos :)
I’ve never been into cooking or baking and watching your videos has really grown my confidence! I’m so going to try this later!
Best of luck. Let me know on IG how it goes
Baking atleast is super easy, although it is very much chemistry so at first its best to just strictly follow recipies until you know enough to tweak them or make your own.
Cooking on the other hand can simply be measured with your heart and is relatively hard to mess up in a way that renders your food inedible. (Burning and over seasoning/spicing/salting are the big ones)
I love a classic style of banana bread! Growing up my mom would make it often and put it in my lunches for school as a treat
Oh my goodness! This is the BEST banana bread!
I followed 100% the recipe and it’s just MAGIC.
I’d never go back to another one. Thank you, Bri!!!
Me and my two sons will definitely try this recipe!! 🛹😎
Love baking with my boy’s! 🛹🎮
👍🏻 Thanks for all the tips and the reasons why they work.
In South Africa 🇿🇦, classic banana bread has walnuts, cinnamon, and cake mix (which is seedless raisins, sultanas, currants, and candied orange peel). All of which i love, but i do like the idea of chocolate chip inclusions .. so I'm going to have to try that out for sure. Thanks!
I appreciate the information you added to compare techniques. Thanks for giving me the tools to win family affection!
Baked this today, with hazelnuts and choc chunks as mixins; it tasted great, with great lift and no collapse after taking out of the oven! I made the larger amount of batter and had leftover so made pancakes of sorts by just frying them up, which were also real good
Wonderful recipe❣️
I made the smaller version (9x3 loaf pan) last evening.
It turned out perfectly after 70 minutes. I took it out after 60 minutes, checked with a skewer. It was slightly wet.
Put it back for 10 more minutes.
Perfect 👍🏼
Going to try your Baguette recipe one of these days.
Love and best wishes from Canada 🇨🇦
Both versions are delicious! It works well with half the sugar - reduce the salt if you go this route. I tried both versions as muffins - added the seed/nut/chocolate mix after making half the batter as banana muffins.
I love a good smear of butter on my BB, but the addition of sea salt is something new, sounds great.
Oh my God! Finally! The receipe I've been looking for. Others make the Banana bread like cakes. My aunt and cousin use to make it like this and it's so amazing and delicious. I've been looking for this recipe for so long. Thank you so much.
I just made this last night and it came out amazing!!! You outdid yourself one more time!! TY
Just made the Classic Version today. I tried a lot of recipes before, but Ladies and Gentlemen, this one is f**** awesome. Very intense banana flavor, a subtle sweetness also from the brown sugar and a very mellow one from the molasses. It's a dream. Thank you, Brian, you are doing an awesome job.
I love making banana bread. Looking forward to trying your recipe. Thanks for putting grams into the recipe.I buy bananas every week to take to mom in LTC. If the banana turns the perfect brown it goes in the freezer. Mom's second favorite snack.
Congrats on 600k! Falls coming and banana bread is the perfect treat.
been following one recipe all this time and I have to say that intro hit home on the first bite.
I went with walnut, desiccated coconut and milk + dark chocolate combo, and it was delicious!
another banana (lots of fruit, actually) ripening tip: if you happen to have an apple handy, putting the bananas in a semi-permeable bag with the apple for a day or so will expedite the ripening process - some fruit release gas they ripen, and that gas can be trapped and used to help along other fruit! A brown banana or apple is all that stands between todays yet ripened avocado and tomorrows perfect guac!
I do that with green tomatoes but I’ve never thought about doing it with avocados!
This is my favorite recipe now after a long search for a good banana bread. I like this banana bread because it's moist (oil with butter definitely helps with that) and not overly sweet (although I increased the amount of sugar the second time I baked it). In my opinion it has the right texture and a very good flavor. Also, this recipe fixed my problem of undercooked/not well risen bottom of the banana bread. Than you!
Bri, Thank you for these recipes. I made the basic/classic banana bread but added some freshly toasted walnuts. Oh yeah, we used old brown bananas for the natural enhanced sugar flavor. It was truly the best that we have ever had. Just the smell in the house was dope. My wife and I love your videos and have tried a bunch.
Wow, I've seen Banana bread from another dimension, thank you for sharing, a must try.
Just made this Classic version with toasted walnuts. WOW! Can't stop eating it. Next time will be with chocolate chunks and walnuts. Thanks Bri!
Brian- I had 5 very ripe banana's and the 1.5 baking pan you recommended wasn't due to come in until today. So last night I decided to make the classic using a 1b pan. It was kind of a late night decision and baking was done in a messy kitchen with a bit of chaos. Unfortunately I forget to add the (already measured out) vanilla. But no worries- your banana bread was AMAZING! My husband loved it! I had mine with butter and fig jam- it's a keeper! I was unsure about the olive oil because I've never baked a banana bread with olive oil before but it's just extra moist and delicious! Thank you from both of us!
Thank you for the recipes! I make banana bread quite regularly as my daughter tends to eat half a banana almost every day... The other half ends up in a freezer bag, waiting to be converted into banana bread, banana pancakes or a banana smoothie. I will try you recipe soon!
Thank you for this amazing recipe....I just threw my old one into the garbage.......I will definitely make this in the next few days.... our week old bananas are ready to go.... so much less sugar ,less sour cream and done all by hand.....that’s one for the favourites list... cheers....
Newcomer/latecomer to your channel Brian but I made your 'everything' banana bread this week and oh my goodness it is absolutely ELITE! Best banana bread I've ever had. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes, I'm super psyched to work my way through so many of them!🥳
Tried the first recipe, turned out great! Thanks for sharing
Just made it, couldn’t wait for it to cool. Holy moly my man. Thank you
Love love your videos. I make banana bread quite often. Our HEB most of the time has a bag of ripe bananas for a very good price. Day after I bake bread we put butter on it and put it on a comal to brown it. Soooo good, just FYI.
Think I will give the basic recipe a try, it's pretty close to what I do (which is a variation of a recipe of Donna Hay). Mine also combines melted butter and oil, but I don't use the sour cream.
In terms of fillings my personal favourites are a combination of nuts and/or some raisins that I've soaked in spirits like Brandy or Whiskey. If I do the bread as a hostess gift for a party, I add chocolate so that it is more like a dessert than a tea-time/coffee break snack.
Just found this channel and I get excited with every video. I want to try all of these recipes.
Just made your recipe yesterday & my family absolutely loved it - they said it was the best homemade banana bread they've tasted before! The only downside is there isn't much left for me 😂 Thanks for the recipe, Bri
My Mom taught us to that banana bread was a great way to use up old bananas and that they had a more concentrated banana flavor. I'm not familiar with baking the fresher bananas, but
we used to freeze peeled bananas and then let the thaw to get the "over ripe" banana effect, similar to your refrigerator method.
Just put it in the oven! Can't wait to see how it tastes. Had the halve the recipe though since I only had two bananas lol. Just recently found your channel and you genuinely have some of the best content for cooking man! Can't wait to try your other recipes!!
We used to eat Banana Bread growing up and also Zucchini bread which i actually prefer but both when done right.... so good
I made this recipe and a few other of your recipes. Always on point, always clear instructions and measurments (I live in europe, makes it so much easier with grams) and always.so.freaking.delicious! ✨Youre the only chef I would trust to bring amazing food to my table 🫶 keep on your amazing work, you deserve more!
What a wonderful recipe❣️
Thanks very much for informative video.
Best wishes and blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
I agree with you on the nuts. Plain old banana bread is amazing. The nuts to me don't really add much and mess with the texture.
My favorite is my Preppy Kitchen's going to try this one later 👍👍👍
I followed the recipe exactly and added chocolate chips. It was the best banana bread I have ever had.
Love bananas. Love bread. Yay banana bread! It really is dope! Love ur detailed explanations. Quite inciteful
I've really been enjoying your videos Brian. I came here via Adam and I love how you construct your videos. Keep up the great work. Also, I like pure banana bread with no nuts.
others have mentioned freezing bananas, but I just freeze the last one or two from a bunch I don't eat. I use them in smoothies or banana bread (just defrost, fridge 24h)
Oh yum I will definitely be making that recipe. Thank you
Thanks for going the extra mile and giving a smaller loaf recipe!
I also tried the reduced recipe variation for the smaller loaf tin but it was still way too much batter! (See my comment above) Did yours overflow??
Going to make this tonight, can't wait!
Thank you for the Classic banana bread recipe, we are a classic style house..... and yes now we have to serve it Brian style with butter and sea slat flakes....:)... . Love you videos, and this is my 4th time making the bread since we saw it and honestly, perfect every time.... Thank you , huge fans ( my husband watches your videos and I have to come up with the end product....) .
Beautiful crumb.
Thank you for recipes, I make it is was so good.🙏😊😊❤️
Great recipe! I had it today and it was very lovely. The only thing I’m going to change in the next batch is to increase the amount of vanilla. It’s not a banana-vanilla bread but 5g/5ml for a 1500g yield of an otherwise richly flavored batter seems like a throw away amount that wouldn’t be missed if it wasn’t there at all.
an actually good and underrated recipe! keep it up
This is in the oven right now.....smells amazing! Any chance you could create us a VERY good tasting pumpkin bread recipe as well?
Hey! I don't have Molasses neither in marketplace or mall in here, I wonder if I can substitute that with honey.
@@cocoa8535 maybe black treacle would be a good substitute
Yess! Chunkyy salt on the butter on the bread is weapons grade delicious
Beautiful and well explained video.
Molasses must be a great flavor.
Thanks.
We like ours with walnuts, and topped with cream cheese.
Bri, you always research and present in a very professional manner. Not to mention that you are as entertaining as hell.
In my opinion, the best banana breads are the ones that are light, cakey and that have a sticky top like madeira cake. My ultimate banana bread recipe is Mary Berry's banana loaf. I am interested in trying your recipe, though, so will bookmark this for when the cooler months return as it is summer here in Australia right now.
My last batch of banana bread was delicious. Really agey soft dark fruit. BUT there was a bit of a dense area toward the bottom.
The loaded w/ nuts&seeds version works really well with 450g of shredded zucchini (drained).
Have made this bread a couple of times - delicious. Quantities for the 1lb version are a bit off though, my bread spilled over side of tin during cooking.
This amounts worked for me:
4 bananas
2 large eggs
80g dark brown sugar
45g black treacle
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
90g sour cream
2 tbsp olive oil
75g butter
280g flour
1-1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Thank you for adding butter
This looks awesome. I have a great family recipe that’s always a hit with friends but it relies on simpler flavors in white sugar and vegetable oil. I may have to betray the family and try this recipe. And you’re right about the walnuts, leave those for zucchini bread!
Highly recommend using banana bread to make French Toast. It's the bomb.
Awesome! and so yummy! Have a great day!
my fav food youtuber hands down
Hey Bri, please tell us more about this olive oil + salt + chocolate combo.
We’ll be making the banana bread today. Thanks for all the work you put into the videos.
Much love all! Delish!
I get banana bread from some Amish folks in Kutztown Pa, and I always save a few slices to stale out and make French toast with it.
The music crescendo at the end was 🎉🎉🎉
Definitely gonna take this into my own recipe! Never thought abt sour cream before lol
Hey Bri, awesome recipe again! I've been binging all your stuff recently, my new favorite chef!
Question: I love your recipes and techniques, but I am missing some of my favorite cuisines and ingredients! How about making some Turkish dishes, like eggplant or fish dishes? Curious to your take on those!
My new go to B-bread recipe. I'm suscribed to ATK, too. Add, to be fair, they have a lot of good stuff. But, i'm trying more and more of your stuff. This b-bread is killer, kids like it, easy to make. Thank you.
Hey Bri! We watch all your videos! We were watching the banana bread video today, and my 7-year-old daughter asked if you could make gumbo. She asked me to comment that here, so there it is! We live in New Orleans and make GREAT gumbo on the reg if you have any questions.
I LOVE BANANA BREAD! Wish i was eating some right now...
Banana bread with a smear of cream cheese and sliced strawberries is a favorite Breakfast.
Happy to donate. Great cause ❤❤
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻😎😎😎
Ooooweeeee that looks good! I'm going to rush out to buy bananas and let them brown
B Man, another winner! My 4 year old son and I have already made the classic twice. His official review - “I like it. I’m impressed of you.”
🍌🥖
Thanks!
I love my slice of fresh banana bread toasted with slather of peanut butter.
Stay frosty, Bri.
Lol My husband was wondering why the gas usage was higher than the year before. WELL...I think that's when I started watching and subbed to your channel. The countless loaves of Dutch oven bread, Cinnamon raisin bread, and every State in the Union's pizza dough. (Jersey, St. Louis, NY, et al.) I kept telling him that I had to get the steel hot. LOL My go to is Cooks Illustrated Banana Bread. Yours looks better. I'll give it a shot.
Banana bread is so much better than cake imho, and this looks really good. Are you planning to do a series of Scandinavian dishes in the future? My favorites when I lived there were the breads, cheeses, polsers and game meats. The seafood dishes should have been fantastic, but were usually boiled and bland, except for the dill sauces. That was a long time ago though. And don't get me started on the depraved collapse of the beer once Ringnes bought out Tou....
Look at those orange af yolks. Damn jelly, Bri
Stellar recipe and happy pre 600k
It looks great
For those like me that like a more pronounced banana flavor, you have to prepare a day in advance. Peel the bananas and toss in lemon juice and refrigerate. Take the peels, weigh them and combine with an equal weight in granulated sugar and leave on counter overnight. The syrup that is produced has a very intense banana flavor and can be added to the wet ingredients.
Thank you so much for this tip. Do you know if it works with apples?
@@saraatppkdotpt8140 AFAIK it doesn't work the same with apples.
@@michaelmccarthy4077 thank you!
I'm going to try this with pumpkin.
Praying you tackle fruit crisps soon... the perfect apple crisp? Peach, blueberry? Love your food...
I feel almost stubborn about trying this recipe, cos I have a great banana bread recipe 😁 (had people request me make it specially for them and it's helped me win over colleagues. Someone actually stole a banana bread I made once, drama!)
I might do a banana-bread-off, where I make both cos I'm super curious and wanna compare!
(The recipe I use isn't one I invented or anything, just from a book)
Also 2 things:
- really appreciate the tips about softening bananas, especially since my bfs mum INSISTS putting them in the fridge stops them going soft!
- for providing a recipe for a smaller batch, much appreciated
I was having the same thoughts myself, I love my recipe but would like to try this to compare.
