    Claire is queen obviously. BUT BRO you gotta compare my REG banana bread next time. Those nuts and seeds make the "everything" version a touch drier than the reg. Im not surprised she smoked mine TBH. Cool vid. Cool channel. Subbed.

      "Hey Bri!" you are the people's champ.
      Thanks for taking time to show some love! Claire may have outdid your banana bread this time but let me be clear, there was no you getting "smoked" in this banana battle. The only person that got smoked was Tasty tbh 🤫😅. Will defs give the reg a try though!

      TRY MY BANANA BREAD RECIPE 2 LOAVES!
      Ingredients:
      16 Bananas Must be blackend from age. keep them off flat surface while aging. Don't let rot.
      2 1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour
      1 tsp salt
      2 tsp baking powder
      1/2 cup milk
      1 cup coconut oil melted
      1 cups dark brown sugar (original recipe called for 2 cups, so up to you)
      4 eggs
      1 tsp vanilla extract, but much prefer Rodelle vanilla bean paste from Kroger!
      2 tbsp Cinnamon
      -------------------------------------------------
      Preheat oven to 350°
      put your bananas on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and stab them with a fork about 6 times. Cook them for 30 minutes at 300 degrees. They will come out solid black. Cut a slit all the way down the bananas, and scoop out banana into a bowl. Pour clear liquid into bananas. MASH THEM!
      Sift your flour into large mixing bowl.
      Add the rest of your ingredients into mixing bowl, exept the bananas...and you need to use a mixer idealy.
      Now add the bananas and mix them, but don't over do it. Just enough to get them evenly mixed in.
      Coat cast iron loaf pan with butter (cast iron is best if you can get one)
      Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes on 350 (should be no more than 60-70 percent full for one pan.) EASY

    claire's banana bread is my all time favourite banana bread! i don't really like almonds or almond butter so i actually use peanut butter and it's literally amazing, so easy to make and so delicious!

    Claire is my go to for recipes. I've made things from other bakers and had mixed responses but her recipes are always 10/10 and she is so great at explaining why we are doing something, so everything has a purpose. Her pumpkin pie recipe is amazing!! I got praised to the high heavens when I made it for Thanksgiving.

    The best banana bread we've ever had was at a random place on the side of the road in Maui on the road to Hana. There's multiple places making banana bread there. But the bananas are also different than here and so much better. The banana used in the recipe can be such a game changer too.

    Thank you for the video. I just started Brian 's banana bread recipe, the basic kind. I also didn't have all bananas that were ripened. So, I used his method of baking the banana to soften, which makes the smell so good. Anyway, I will find out how it tastes and report back. The only cheat that I did was putting sea salt flakes on top before baking.😅😊

    of banana bread over the years but the first time I saw Claire make it, I started using her recipe and never looked back. My family was like, “shut the front door, this is by far the best banana bread you’ve ever made mom! I’ve made many of Brian and Clair’s recipes and both these chefs are top tier. Love them both. Never made a Tasty recipe.

    I have made Brian's before and it's okay, though it's a bit too heavy on the molasses imo, and like you said it covers up the banana flavor despite using so many bananas. I'll have to give Claire's a try for sure, it looks great!

    Ok this has convinced me to try claires banana bread the next i see bananas on sale. I'm always really happy to see those huge bags of way over ripe bananas for 1$ in the clearance section. My favourite banana bread recipe is the one by Abby Mandel, but ive been really loving the one from America's Test Kitchen. I've been itching to try the tahini banana bread by Thalia Ho, too. Great video!

    I had the same reaction after trying Claire’s banana bread. I used walnut butter instead of almond and it is insane how good it is. It’s probably been a year since I’ve made it but definitely need to do this one again while maybe adding some walnuts or pecans to get some texture.

    Hi, i was wondering why Claire used coconut oil, is it for flavor or texture? Thanks for doing the hard work for us!

    • @TheCultureofCookery
      @TheCultureofCookery  Рік тому +1

      That's a good question. I think the oil acts the same as the butter. It seemed like more of a flavour profile that kind of mimicked the coconut oil she used in the topping

    @TLovly77 Рік тому

    I don’t think it’s anything you did wrong with the Tasty recipe because mine came out the same way, it was extremely moist to the point of being wet. I cooked it about 20 minutes longer than the recipe suggested trying to a clean toothpick and even after that it still seemed to have a wet, undercooked texture. Although it did have good flavor and was most likely thoroughly cooked, I still threw it away. I will continue looking for a good banana bread recipe.
