Here is how you make Ultimate Banana Bread:

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8.5 by 4.5-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil spray. Whisk flours, baking soda, and salt together in large bowl; set aside.Place 5 of the bananas in a separate bowl, cover, and microwave until bananas are soft and have released liquid, about 5 minutes. Transfer bananas to a fine-mesh strainer set over a medium bowl and let drain for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You should get between 1/2 and 3/4 cup liquid.Transfer banana liquid to medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Return drained bananas to bowl. Off heat, stir reduced liquid into bananas and mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth. Whisk in melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.Pour banana mixture into flour mixture and stir just until combined. Some streaks of flour should still be visible. Pour batter into prepared pan. Slice remaining banana on bias 1/4 inch thick. Shingle banana slices on top of loaf in 2 rows, leaving the center space open. This ensures an even rise. Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over top of loaf.Bake until toothpick inserted in center of bread comes out clean, 55 - 75 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. Let bread cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove bread from pan and continue cooling on rack for 1 hour before serving.Cooled bread can be stored at room temp if covered tightly with plastic wrap for up to 3 days.Serving Size: 1 slice 1/4 inch thickNumber of Servings: 30Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DBEAU57.
