Equipment
- oven
- Spatula etc.
Ingredients
- 7/8 cups of precisely measured all-purpose flour approximately 1 and 3/4 cups, though precision in halving is an art
- 2 perfectly ripe large bananas, lovingly peeled
- 1/4 cup of wholesome vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder for that light and airy texture
- 1 egg sourced from free-range hens
- 1/2 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract for an aromatic essence
- 1/4 cup of tightly packed brown sugar rich in molasses
- 1/4 cup of fine granulated sugar for a delightful sweetness
- 1/4 cup of creamy yogurt adding a touch of lusciousness
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda ensuring the perfect rise
- 1/8 teaspoon of salt to balance the sweetness
- 1/2 cup of meticulously chopped walnuts or the indulgent choice of pecans
Instructions
Preheat The Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard-sized loaf pan.
Mash The Bananas:
- In a mixing bowl, mash the perfectly ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Add vegetable oil, creamy yogurt, egg, and pure vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
Add Sweeteners:
- Incorporate the tightly packed brown sugar and fine granulated sugar into the wet mixture. Stir until the sugars are fully dissolved.
Sift Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the precisely measured all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This ensures an even distribution of leavening agents.
Combine Wet And Dry Mixtures:
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Add Nuts:
- Gently fold in the meticulously chopped walnuts or pecans, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Transfer To Loaf Pan:
- Pour the batter into the greased and floured loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool And Slice:
- Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve And Enjoy:
- Slice the Costco-style banana bread into thick, generous pieces. Serve and enjoy the moist and flavorful goodness!
Notes
Here are some tips to help you make the perfect Costco Banana Bread Recipe:
• Make sure that the bananas are ripe and mashed well.
• If the bananas are not ripe enough, the banana bread will not be as sweet.
• For a nuttier flavor, feel free to add different types of nuts, such as pecans or almonds.
• For a sweeter banana bread, add a teaspoon of cinnamon.
• To get a more even rise, use a light-colored loaf pan.
• Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing.
