Maui Banana Bread Recipe
This easy Maui Banana Bread Recipe has a moist texture, with bananas, cinnamon, brown sugar, and super soft crumbs. In just 35 minutes, this recipe makes just 2 mini loaves of banana bread and can be frozen. On a Maui vacation recently, I stopped at Aunty Sandy's banana bread stand on Maui's road to Hana and this is my copycat recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 cup bread flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 1 Tablespoon solid shortening
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- ½ Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons sour cream
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed (not overripe bananas)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 330 F. Position the rack in the lower third of the oven.
- Grease two 3 ½ x 6 ½ inch loaf pans.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and solid shortening.
- Pour the melted butter mixture into a large bowl and whisk in the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and sour cream.
- Stir in the mashed bananas until well combined.
- Add the flour and any additions to the banana mixture, and stir to combine.
- Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared mini loaf pans, divided evenly.
- Bake for 30 - 45 minutes. Check for doneness at 35 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If there is still raw batter in the middle, keep baking, checking at 5-minute intervals, until the toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. It can also be served slightly warm.
Notes
- Store tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or an airtight container for up to 3 or 4 days.
- This recipe can be doubled and baked in four 3 ½ x 6 ½ inch loaf pans.
