Bake a banana bread in a reg loaf pan takes 55 min., if I use 3 by 5 pans how long to bake the breads?

A regular loaf pan is approx. 9 by 5, the small pans I need to use for gifting are 3 by 5 . How do I compensate for the difference in size or is the fact that there will be at least 2 pans in the oven mean the cooking time won’t change?I usually bake a regular loaf pan for 55 minutes.

 

About 1/3 less time or appx 40 mins.

I have been having this dispute for the longest time and I would like to know. Please, if possible, give some sort of scientific fact supporting your answer.

No, as others have said, it is a quick bread. This term refers to any bread that uses chemical leaveners (baking powder and/or baking soda) as opposed to yeast, and requires no kneading or rising time. The definition includes pancakes, waffles, scones, biscuits, coffeecakes, muffins and loaves. Obviously, quick breads are closest in texture/density and composition to muffins.

Many layer cakes use chemical leaveners, too, but the variations in the ratio of ingredients provides a much lighter, airier texture. So while the sweetness of Banana Nut Bread may remind you very much of cake, it is truly a bread!

Happy Baking! ~ Maria

Banana Bread

Native to the Caribbean and Central America, bananas are one of America’s favorite fruits. They are rich in potassium – one banana contains 450 mg, one-fifth of the adult daily requirement – and offer a fair share of magnesium (33 mg), too. In addition, bananas help to strengthen the stomach lining and are good for soothing indigestion. Most banana bread recipes are saturated with butter and sugar. This one uses a small amount of canola oil instead – which is much better for your heart – and honey, which of course means lots of flavor. Don’t use regular whole-wheat flour. It is too heavy for this recipe. Look for whole-wheat pastry flour instead.

Ingredients:
3 very ripe bananas
1/2 cup honey
3 tbsp canola oil, plus a little more for oiling the loaf pan
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions:
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a loaf pan.
2. Mash the bananas and mix with the honey, canola oil and vanilla extract.
3. Stir together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda and salt. Add the nuts.
4. Blend the two mixtures and spoon into a lightly oiled loaf pan. Bake for 40 minutes, or until center is set.
