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 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.
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!
I happened watched all that banana bread recipes before I stumbled on your video.. and to NOT my surprise and even though I haven't tried it yet, I thought that Claire's recipe is the best of the three, and your video just validated my thoughts! Thanks for saving me time and effort! Instant sub.
please make more recipe comparison videos! they're so informative and helpful especially when you're trying to narrow down which ones are worth going through all the effort to make.
Hey man. This was super useful. I was trying to figure out which bread to make, and the fact that you said Claire's was what you want to eat when you have BB. I will be making it this week. Great review. I like how you evaluated it and talked about why you enjoyed certain things more or less.
Love your recipe comparisons! I am YT-taught in the kitchen and before I give anything new a try I scour the favorite chef creators here for their variations. You choose many of the same channels I love and to see those recipes made by someone other the their authors gives me the courage to try it for myself. Thanks for sharing, keep it up 😊
That is so awesome! This is exactly why I make these videos! Thank you so much for letting me know! Any other authors/recipes that you'd like to see? Always taking recommendations!
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.
Try out some chocolate chip cookies! I was about to make Brian's recipe, but this vid popped up and I switched to Claire's (which turned out fantastic).
I mean, one really shouldn't be surprised that Claire's turns out so good... she's pretty amazing. Interesting that the lack of molasses flavour helps bring out so much great banana flavour. Thanks for this Ajay! Excellent comparison!
I’ve made many many loaves 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.
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.😅😊
Thanks for leaving a comment! Yes, Brian's recipe is definitely a game changer for me. Absolutely delicious, but more on the breakfast banana bread for sure. Let me know what you think when you finish, it'd be interesting to hear your thoughts!
I watched cause I just made a basic banana bread yesterday, it had like sour cream, and yea, was basic but good. I love banana bread lol great vid, thanx for doing that knowledgeable test!
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.
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
@@TheCultureofCookery oh, so you can really taste the coconut oil? I was thinking of making it but my teenage daughter hates coconut! Thanks for your reply
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!
Julia’s banana bread , It's the most perfect banana bread there is. Practical, simple and delicious. I always leave the bananas frozen, to improve the acidity and sweetness. And I use turbinado sugar
i think i like the everything banana bread in concept the best because i love varieties in my foods. next would be claire saffitz bc seems easier than the tasty one haha
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.
@@TheCultureofCookery Your welcome, I really like your vibe and will be checking out your other videos. Also thanks for introducing me to Brian’s channel, I really like his videos too although I’m going to make Claire’s recipe.
Your video descriptions really need to link back to each recipe video is you are using them for reference both for your audience and to give proper recognition to the creators you are building your channel off.

She's definitely doing something right to be sure!
Her pumpkin pie is my husband’s fave thing I’ve ever baked…she’s a beast!
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!
Couldn’t agree more! I made Claire’s again the other day!

Is that Lorraines? I've heard stories about that one. When we went, it was closed haha
great video! as a Claire fan, I was happy to see her wow you. Thanks for the comparison!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for leaving a comment
"not backseat, but front seat.... to the side....passenger seat."
Idk how, but i perfectly understand you.
I hoped someone out there would 🙌🏽 🤣
Really good recipe choices and really appreciate time spent for the in-depth reviews
Appreciate the feedback! Glad you like them! What should I do next?
If you like these comparison videos, like this comment and leave me a suggestion of what recipes I should test next! Appreciate you all! 😁
Try out some chocolate chip cookies! I was about to make Brian's recipe, but this vid popped up and I switched to Claire's (which turned out fantastic).
I just made Brian's Banana Bread tonight. 3/29/2024 it was a big hit in my house.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
I mean, one really shouldn't be surprised that Claire's turns out so good... she's pretty amazing. Interesting that the lack of molasses flavour helps bring out so much great banana flavour. Thanks for this Ajay! Excellent comparison!
Thank you Susan! The lack of molasses is definitely interesting - it's so much lighter
I love the video you should do a recipe comparison for cheese cake
OHHHHH that's one that I haven't considered! Will definitely look into it! Thanks for the recommendation!
I’ve made many many loaves
of banana bread over the years but the first time I saw Claire make it, I started using her recipe and never looked back.

Very Good... appreciate ur efforts 👌 thanks for sharing all the Best Recipes in 1 video
Appreciate the love! If you have any other recipes that you'd like to see pitted against each other, let me know! Always looking for inspo!
Awesome video 😊 could you do a tour of your kitchen? It seems very well organized and would love to see your setup!
Hahah maybe in a few more videos! We have a small kitchen so trying to utilize all the space available with racks and such is super helpful 😁
Love this comparison video!
Cool, thanks so much!
I watched cause I just made a basic banana bread yesterday, it had like sour cream, and yea, was basic but good. I love banana bread lol great vid, thanx for doing that knowledgeable test!
Glad it could be of help Lisa! Thanks for taking time to let me know!

Yum, that sounds great!👌🏽
Hi, i was wondering why Claire used coconut oil, is it for flavor or texture? Thanks for doing the hard work for us!
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
@@TheCultureofCookery oh, so you can really taste the coconut oil? I was thinking of making it but my teenage daughter hates coconut! Thanks for your reply

I would say that I really did enjoy Brian's, but Claire's had a lightness about it that was just undeniable.
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.

Great video!
Great Video...i was wandering if Claire's banana bread was worth making...so now I'm going to try it. Thanks!
Definitely worth the try at least once!
Julia’s banana bread , It's the most perfect banana bread there is. Practical, simple and delicious. I always leave the bananas frozen, to improve the acidity and sweetness. And I use turbinado sugar
i think i like the everything banana bread in concept the best because i love varieties in my foods. next would be claire saffitz bc seems easier than the tasty one haha
It's definitely worth the try! Claire's was just about perfect!
Well now I have to try Claire’s in comparison to my grandma’s recipe. Also why is banana bread and milk like the most perfect snack ever?
Yes, her version is definitely worth the try. Couldn't agree more though I typically like to have mine with a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate! 😁
I love my grandmas recipe, she uses a cup of buttermilk and a cup of boiling water
Cool, thanks now have you compared claire's to Natasha's from Natasha's Kitchen? I love hers!!
Not yet!
More please!!!
👍🏽😁
i would die for claire saffitz from the claire saffitz x dessert person channel
No death please! Though diehard fanning may be encouraged 😅
I wonder if adding baking soda to the tasty recipe elevates it?
Maybe? I also think I under baked this specific one...
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.

Ooof! Yeah moisture level was high in their recipe for sure! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!!

I've tried these and a few other recipes. I prefer Thomas Joseph's recipe.
Ohhh that would be the kitchen conundrums guy? Good to know! They also have a great waffle recipe.
Your video descriptions really need to link back to each recipe video is you are using them for reference both for your audience and to give proper recognition to the creators you are building your channel off.
Good catch! Must have forgotten on this one. Did for the others 👍🏽. Will remedy that soon! Thanks!
The Tasty one was definitely underdone and needs to be redone.
you didn't get right off the bat; you are so Canadian.
Yep. 🤷🏻♂️😅
My fav is Lagerstrom’s, which you messed up and clearly burned.
The best banana bread is from @natashaskitchen
Next time! 😁
