Elvis Banana Bread Recipes

ELVIS BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter two 8½ X 4½ bread pans.
• Cream the butter and peanut butter. Add the sugar and mix until combined. Slowly beat in eggs and vanilla. Then add the bananas.
• In another bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet and mix until just combined.
• Stir in the mini chocolate chips. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and bake for 45 - 50 mins (see note).
• While the bread bakes, place a wire rack on a baking sheet. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow dish and sort of dredge the bacon strips through the mixture. Lay the bacon strips flat across the wire rack, careful to tuck in any excess so it's dripping on the baking sheet and not in the oven.
• During the last 15 minutes of baking, loosely tent the bread to keep it from getting too dark on top. Place the pan with the bacon in the oven on the rack below the bread.
• You'll want to watch the bacon closely -- bake time can range from 7 to 15 minutes depending on the thickness of your bacon. It will be crisp and golden when it's ready; not too dark.
• Let the bread and the bacon cool just a bit before turning out of the pans. Make your glaze by stirring together the powdered sugar and milk, adding the milk just a little at a time to reach a good consistency. Spoon it over the cooling loaves (it's best to do this while they are still warm). Crumble the bacon over each loaf.
• Let them cool almost completely before slicing to serve.

ELVIS BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 9 x 5 x 3 loaf pan with cooking spray and flour. Set aside. In medium size bowl combine mashed bananas and peanut butter. I use a potato masher for the bananas and a whisk to combine the rest of the wet ingredients. Add the eggs, canola oil and vanilla. Combine and set aside while you assemble the dry ingredients.
• 2. In large bowl add flour, ground oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to incorporate. Fold wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. You don't need to drag out your hand or stand mixer for this. Add chopped peanuts(if using)and gently fold in.
• 3. The secret to moist banana bread is to not over mix the batter, and that's the result you'll acheive by doing it by hand. Pour mixure into prepared pan and bake 55 minutes. Place on wire rack to cool about 15 minutes. Carefully remove the bread from the pan and let cool another 1/2 hour. Slice and serve plain or with additional peanut butter, cream cheese or butter. Some say it's better the next day toasted with a smidge of butter.

• cream shortening add sugar and eggs. add flour and mix
• pour into prepared 9x5 loaf pan and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour. start checking bread for doneness at around 50 minutes. not sure why and it doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes if I let this go for the full 60 minutes it overcooks. so I just start watching it after 50
