add applesauce or yogurt. you can sub the oil for these and it's a lot less bad (ignoring sugar) for you.

Your bananas should be pretty much black on the outside, and if it's still dry, add more bananas.

The best thing about banana bread is that it's a way to use up otherwise overripe bananas while getting the best flavor out of them.

I've always though banana "ice cream" and banana "pancakes" were stupid diet fads, but using blacked bananas to make delicious banana bread has literally always been how it's done.

this time i really just want to focus on the taste. i don't care about the calories. it just needs to be fucking delicious. and if that means i need to use a stick of butter - so be it

When I make mine I usually use 2 cups of flour, 2 eggs, 3/4 cup brown sugar, a stick of butter, 3 or 4 overly ripe bananas, 1tsp baking soda, 1/4tsp salt, some vanilla extract, cinnamon and a little bit of nutmeg.

Like >>7370792 says, use super ripe bananas, ones that have turned black. It makes a huge difference in the flavor and texture.

>i might be weird, but for me it has to be almost dough-like in the middle.

don't think it has to do with the amount of fat. either try underbaking it or adding more banana. and also ensure your bananas are really fucking overripe.

i got 2 very ripe, almost black bananas. i also got 3 ripe ones that aren't black yet. i've read about caramelizing them first, iow put them in the oven or in a pan to make them soft and get the flavours out. should i use some of the not overly ripe ones like that to up the banana content?

>>7370798
>underbaking it
i think i'll do this.

More very ripe bananas, more butter, add yogurt, don't over mix.

Freeze, then microwave to thaw your bananas.

i have some sliced overly ripe and frozen bananas in the freezer for smoothies. should i microwave and add them too?

>add yogurt
will creamcheese be ok too?

>>7370788
>applesauce
going to add some of this in too

baking is an exact science. if you want to figure out what the difference is then you would be better off limiting variations to one per attempt, and repeat the process till you get the desired result. this will simplify things for when you want to make it again (the exact way you want it) in the future

+maybe try muffins instead of a full loaf and make the batter slightly different in each muffin cup

the bread is in the oven. i'll see how it turns out and then use the mixture i just made as the basic to tweak it. i'm sure i'll come up with a recipe that'll turn out just how i want it over time.

turned out wonderfully moist inside. now i took it out and upped the heat of the oven. going to pop it in again a few mins to get a nice crust on top.

ATK has a method of ripening, freezing, microwaving, and then reducing the residual liquid to about a 1/4 cup, then adding that back to the banana mash. They also use 2 cups of bananas, where most recipes call for 1. Tried it, came out DENSE, but great flavor.

I like this recipe if you want something to hold you through the morning...

How did it compare to the usual way you make banana bread?

>>7370779
Try this recipe. Skip the lime glaze if you want.
