Bread Cakes

Personally, I can't even begin to tally the number of banana bread loaves I made when I was little. The kids love watching me pour the batter they helped make into the loaf pan, but not as much as they enjoy sitting in front of the oven and watching intently as it bakes into a mound of chocolate banana goodness -- which tends to get eaten up faster then it took to make!Making different breads like Chocolate Zucchini Bread, Pumpkin Pear Bread or even classic Honey Wheat Bread is such a fun activity to do with your kids!

Sour Cream Banana Bread With Pecan Streusel Topping

Sour Cream Banana Bread With Pecan Streusel Topping
There's something particularly comforting about the familiar aroma of banana bread wafting from the kitchen. It brings back memories of holiday baking marathons, cozy weekend mornings, and drop-in visits to grandma's house for a bit of baking. We updated the classic batter with a half cup of tangy sour cream and finished the loaf with our sweet pecan streusel topping. One bite and this recipe will become a new family favorite.Wrap up a few loaves in pretty baskets or decorative dish towels to deliver to friends and neighbors. Before you know it, they'll be requesting this banana bread recipe to share with their loved ones, too. Next time you have a bunch of ripe bananas sitting in the kitchen, forgo the classic recipe for something a little more interesting. A bit of stirring, an hour of baking, and you'll have a delicious loaf of banana bread that's ready to share with hungry visitors. Can't wait to dig in? We wouldn't think twice if you stole a slice for yourself first. Happy baking!

Nutella Banana Bread

Nutella Banana Bread
There's no question that bananas and Nutella belong together. While the two are great companions on toast (or even by themselves), there's something extra special about Nutella being swirled into a loaf of banana bread in our Nutella Banana Bread Recipe. As the loaf bakes, the Nutella expands slightly but stays distinct from the banana batter—creating a beautiful marbled effect. The Nutella on the top of the loaf becomes slightly crisp on the outside, yielding to velvety smooth Nutella underneath. As the banana bakes in the loaf, its flavor intensifies and the crumb of the loaf sets into a soft and moist bread. When sliced, the loaf yields perfect pieces of banana bread already layered with ribbons of Nutella. The batter of the bread is a simple mix of mashed bananas, sugar, oil, and vanilla mixed with flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This 9-ingredient loaf comes together in minutes and bakes for about an hour. It makes the ideal afternoon snack or a sweet breakfast bite. Because of its composition, the bread keeps well for several days wrapped on the counter, so make it in advance and enjoy it throughout the week.

Banana Chocolate Chip Bread Recipe

Banana Chocolate Chip Bread Recipe
Originally published on Weelicious.comI have a habit of asking people what the first thing was that they ever cooked as a kid. You might be surprised (or not) by how often the answer is either chocolate chip cookies or banana bread. Where those two classics meet is the inspiration for today's recipe.While some people may look at the spotty bananas on their kitchen counter as being past their prime, I actually get excited because they're the perfect excuse for making banana bread. Personally, I can't even begin to tally the number of banana bread loaves I made when I was little. Part of the appeal to me, both back then and now, is that baking banana bread is easy, fun to do and most of all, delicious.I often make this recipe with Kenya and Chloe. They take turns mashing the bananas, measuring the dry and wet ingredients, dumping everything in the mixing bowls and of course, sneaking in as many bites of chocolate chips as they can -- while I lounge, read the paper and have my coffee (wait, I dreamt that last part -- that never happens!). Back to reality. The kids love watching me pour the batter they helped make into the loaf pan, but not as much as they enjoy sitting in front of the oven and watching intently as it bakes into a mound of chocolate banana goodness -- which tends to get eaten up faster then it took to make!Making different breads like Chocolate Zucchini Bread, Pumpkin Pear Bread or even classic Honey Wheat Bread is such a fun activity to do with your kids!
