As a home cook for 20+ years and as someone that loves trying new recipes, looking for the "perfect" one, I have found two perfect recipes. The quest for banana bread and corn bread are complete.
Pioneer Woman's corn bread is everything. Easy yet unique with the melted shortening (I use bacon grease) it isn't sweet and it IS moist. These are two things I do not like in corn bread - tasting like cake and being dry. I rarely have buttermilk so I make it with regular milk and vinegar. I let this sit for a few minutes before adding the additional regular milk. I use a large measuring cup for the wet ingredients.
The perfect banana bread recipe is this one from Talia. It seems too simple, right? Maybe that's what makes it THE BEST. I used 3/4 cup of sugar and that's plenty. I also stirred in 1 cup of pecan pieces. If you wanted to jazz this up of course you can add some shredded coconut and pineapple for a Hawaiian version though if you want a simple banana bread recipe, this is the one.
