Banana Bread Recipe With Brown Sugar Instead Of White
If you're a fan of banana bread, you know that the classic recipe calls for white granulated sugar. However, using brown sugar instead can add a whole new depth of flavor to this beloved treat. Not only does it give the bread a richer taste, but it also adds a lovely caramel color to the finished product.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add in the brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Add the baking soda and salt, and mix once more.
- Add in the flour, egg, and milk, and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
This banana bread with brown sugar is delicious served warm or at room temperature. It's perfect for breakfast, a quick snack, or even dessert!
Tips:
- Be sure to use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
- Mix the wet ingredients first to ensure they are fully combined before adding in the dry ingredients.
- Do not overmix the batter. This can result in a dense and tough bread.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures that the bread is fully cooked.
- Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows it to set and makes for easier slicing.
