Why is my banana nut bread so dry?Not measuring the flour correctly
If you use too much flour, you'll end up with really dry banana bread, and If you don't use enough flour, your banana bread will be way too wet. The secret lies in how you measure the flour.
How do you make Paula Deen's banana bread?Ingredients. 2¼ cups all-purpose flour, sifted.. 1 cup sugar.. 1 teaspoon baking soda.. 1 teaspoon salt.. 4 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1½ cups). ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled.. 2 large eggs.. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.. What can you not make with banana bread?You overmix the batter.
For soft and tender banana bread, gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry — don't overmix! The more you stir, the more gluten will develop. The result will be a tough, rubbery banana bread. Simply stir until moist, and then do no more.
Is it better to wrap banana bread in foil or plastic wrap?Plastic wrap will make especially moist quick breads (pumpkin, banana) gummy, while aluminum foil tends to crinkle and looks a little too pulled-from-the-freezer. Waxed paper or parchment is the way to go here.
