Cheaters Banana Bread Recipes

CHEATER'S GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven (or broiler) to 350 degrees.
• Lay out each piece of white bread and cut off crusts (I like to cut off the vertical crusts and leave the horizontal pieces of crust on but it really doesn't matter.).
• Cut each piece of bread in half vertically (longways).
• Set bread aside and discard crusts.
• In a small bowl mix together butter, garlic powder, Italian Seasoning and salt to taste ( if needed).
• Spread butter mixture thinly over one side of each slice of bread.
• Place bread buttered side up on a small baking sheet and place in the broiler.
• Let bread toast for about 3 or 4 minutes or until golden brown (be careful not to burn the bread!).
• Remove from broiler and serve immediately.

THE BEST BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter one 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl; stir in the mashed bananas. Fold the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
• Pour the batter into the buttered pan and lightly tap the pan on the counter to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean, about 1 hour. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
