Simply Delicious Banana Crumb Bread Recipes

CLASSIC BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC/350°F and grease and line a standard size loaf tin (approximatley 20cmx12cm / 9" x 5") with baking paper.
• In the bowl of a mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Beat in the bananas. At this point, your batter will split and look curdled. Don't be alarmed, the flour will fix that.
• Add the dry ingredients then mix until just combined.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf tin and place in the oven.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cover with foil halfway to prevent over browning.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool before removing the banana bread from the tin.
• Slice and serve.

SIMPLY DELICIOUS BANANA CRUMB BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour 8x4 inch loaf pan.
• Whisk together flour, sugar, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
