hahaha "normalize moldy dairy" 😂 I love this video so much oh my gosh thanks for the comedy relief with a side of baking inspiration 😅
Molly without her mise en place and moldy labneh is so realistic and validating.
I really like her vibe! Haven't seen any other videos of Molly besides her Bon Appetit days but this is so refreshing. Not afraid to make mistakes and to swear a bit. Just like any other human being but also really funny. Subbed.
I made this the other day using the recipe in the description while watching the video and loved it! I’m making it again and have printed the recipe off the taste website. I just wanted to add that in the video description it says 225g flour when the recipe says 255! Also the description says 1/2 cup labneh and the recipe says 1/3 cup. Defo my go to banana cake recipe now!!!
Massive props for including weight measurements in your ingredients list. I was about to write a rant about the "how to measure flour accurately by volume" part of the video is rendered obsolete by accurate digital scales ubiquitously available these days, but you're hooking up us digital scale nerds as well!! Thanks!
I made this gorgeous cake and (just for the hell of it) added some poppy seeds for an extra bit of crunch. It was DIVINE! xx
I've been making this regularly since the Family Meal cookbook was released in 2020 and I will never be stopped, it's truly the banana bread/cake to end all others
Molly! Aaaagghhhhh. I’m seriously so happy that you have made your own way! Of course you would you are the BEST! I look forward to watching you create and share.
I have the cookbook and have made this recipe several times already. Amazing!

Girl we all know quick breads are cakes, it just makes us feel better to pretend it’s not as bad for us. LET US FEEL BETTER, MOLLY.
Honestly love how it was just Molly this episode and not a bunch of rando cameo seekers. Also girl make some “Moldy Bazneh” tees and tanks and we’ll wear the hell out of them.
I use banana bread that’s a day or 2 old to make french toast. DELICIOUS!
I made this last night. OMG!! Best Banana CAKE I've ever had!!! YUM!!!! 😋😋😋
Made this. Brown butter is a game changer. so so good!
Just made it! So easy and DELICIOUS!
Browned butter is simply THE BOMB!!! I use it in so many dishes. Steps up the flavor profile in magical ways. And yes, I've used it on popcorn for a long time! It has always been my secret ingredient. I enjoyed your Bon Appetit vids but these are simply way better. Especially the reality of your "mistakes" and how you handle the moldy stuff. Your style has always been approachable and endearing. This new way takes it to a whole new level. The even more real Molly. So fun! So real! So wonderful!!!
finally early!!! your videos make me so happy molly❤ been going through a lot recently and i really look forward to these!! thank you for being you 💗 also..i think walmart brand great value has frozen sliced banana and like foodservice wholesale bags for like smoothie cafes and such sell frozen banana but i agree! it's alwaysssss mixed with strawberries
Thanks for showing a substitute for labneh. Living in a small midwestern town it is often difficult to find ingredients that may be more common on the coasts.

Can also make labneh at home by taking full fat (non-greek) yogurt and straining it in the fridge in some cheese cloth/ clean kitchen towel and a mesh strainer for like 24 hours. I learned from another youtube video.

Also you'll notice that some eggs in a carton are larger than others... that's because they're sold by weight of the whole carton, not weight of each egg. The more you know!

Molly - heads up In the LA area Sprouts sells frozen bananas. Great to have in the back of the freezer when the rip frozen stash runs dry.
This is one of the best episodes yet. Authentic, real, relaxing, funny. Plus I love the banana trick. P.s. what oven do you have? I love the little side oven!!
Could do with Grams / Ounces for the none cup using nations out there, but definetly need to try this recipe. Love the overhead cam
I have never baked a banana bread before and hoooly Molly, this was good! But I have to say, I am not particularly into sweet bakes, so I had to cut down the amount of sugar in the recipe, 220 grams of sugar on top of the 4 jammy bananas is just too much sweetness for me, darling. Loved it, love ya!
no fucking way molly from ba has a solo channel now? im so glad youtube decided to recommend me this
Only just found out about your channel! I’ll be binge watching your recent uploads. Good to see you back in the limelight.
The reason people don't sell frozen banana's is that they lose a ton of taste and flavour if you freeze them. Some fruits and veggies can be frozen without much loss in taste, banana not so much. All those smoothie lovers probably don't care as it contains a lot of other flavors. I really like this video though, less distractions and more easy going tempo. It helps that people aren't constantly walking in an out of frame distracting from the relaxed cooking and Molly.

really? i always freeze my bananas for smoothies because i love the texture it adds but i have to actively work to make sure the banana isn't overpowering. if anything it tastes stronger frozen than fresh. same with those storebought banana ice creams as a dairy alternative. no matter what flavor it is you only taste banana.
@chrism45

@@andres.5204 I agree, banana forms the BEST ice crystals when making smoothies/blended ice cream. But I usually add protein powder which overpowers the banana taste. If anything you'd want even less tasty bananas to only use them for their ice forming capabilities.

Hi Molly!!! LOVE your videos 🙂
This chaotic energy is so fun
OMG missed you soo much glad I found your vids
Thank You so much for adding recipes in the description, it helps ! I truly appreciate it. And also a question/doubt ... Is brown butter and Ghee the same ? Or do we remove brown butter before it becomes ghee ?
Molly- this recipe is only two bowls Me- oh that’s not bad Molly *grabs 1,000 kitchen utensils*
I once upgraded a really basic banana bread (sorry - cake :P) recipe by replacing butter with brown butter and pre-toasting the almonds, bud the almonds were so overwhelming (in a good way ;)) that I wasn't really sure if I can even taste the brown butter :)
Wow! I am moving to the Middle East next week and they always sell Labeh - now I know what to do with it 😂
I love you so much ! Thank you for saying bad words . I love that ! LOL
I love this channel
Love a wardrobe change 😍
I have been a fan of yours since I seen you on BA. I’m from Australia and we can get frozen banana pieces from the frozen fruit section
👑 Once you try Labneh, you will NEVER bother with yoghurt or sour cream again. It's just the queen of sour 🍌 but how can you make banana cake without big walnuts?!

Ok. Two things. First. I half watched this video the other morning when I woke up wayyyy tooooo early and then fell asleep. I then had dreams about baking it with you and we messed it up and forgot the sugar. So bad. Secondly- we can get frozen bananas in Australia at the supermarket! Maybe we are just more advanced hahaha
Penge Naman ako Nyan!
Australia and Canada sell frozen bananas! It’s a game changer haha.
MOLLY - Walmart and Meijer carry frozen bananas. You probably don't have Meijer on the west coast but I know you have Walmart! :)
We have frozen bananas in our grocery stores in Canada 😊
Sometimes I wonder if keeping a starter in a fridge makes things mold faster...
My Mum gave me some dates a few months ago and I made date cake... Definitely a cake...
I have measuring cups at home for US recipes but they're such a pain. I studied Baking and Pastry Arts and everything was meticulously weighed to the gram and it's still less hassle than messing with all those cups especially with yoghurt! Also how is 5% the highest fat Greek yoghurt you can get? It's 10% in Ireland.
"Oops I broke it... f my life" such a great overreaction to a slightly cracked banana
I feel like there was a better shot of the moldy labneh than of the browned butter...
Dude this girl and her moldy ingredients 😂 I appreciate she keeps it in because it’s real but damn eat ya food 😅
Baz looking/talking up but still on the regular camera is ace.
"Our butter is hot af"
They sell cut up frozen banana in Australia! Although I find they aren’t NEARLY as flavourful, almost a bit bland tbf
Mouldy Baz 😂😂😂
scoop out half wash with warm water and wipe sides chances are the labneh is salvageable.
Molly can u do a Thanksgiving video ?!!
Leb - NEY
Love me some sandos w banana bread
I saw frozen sliced bananas at Wegman’s! It is a thing, just not everywhere I guess.
You can buy frozen sliced bananas at sprouts lol
Molly is there a reason you stray away from weights? I feel like a lot of the world has got on the scale measurement bandwagon. Never fails. Just wondering. Great recipe btw, labneh sounds like a very cool addition to it. Can't wait to make it !

i think it's because molly built her brand catering to beginner chefs. that was her niche on BA. keeping it relatively simple for beginners. and if you're just starting out you probably don't have a kitchen scale. i admire it

Molly could you use frozen bananas in this recipe? Except for the top of course.. But we all have frozen bananas on hand...
Great video, but if I could make a suggestion it would be to include metric measurements. It also makes instructions on how exactly to fill a measuring cup obsolete and may be helpful for an international audience.

Look at the close-up of the book, and the recipe in the description -- she *does* include metric weight measurements. Which is great!
Pro tips; whisk your butter while heating up on the stovetop to create brown butter and ripen bananas in the oven! Thanks, Molly!
I have a theory on a lack of frozen bananas in the stores. I don't know about you, but I've never seen frozen avocado slices or mango slices or orange pieces either. So it might have to do with the peel/shell of the plant, that's it's just too expensive or otherwise not economically viable to peel all of this stuff. Just a thought.

you could pour the browned butter back into a measuring cup and top it off with water to the amount you need (you might need to do some conversions though based on how they measured the butter)

In Australia, we sell SOOOOOO many frozen bananas … sorry!! 😂
Love the “keeping it real” feel of your videos. Love the cursing and mistakes, shit happens!
All the love, just for saying the harsh truth that all these breads are actually Cakes!
oooh when did this channel happen :D
So labneh/Greek yogurt. You say “1/3 cup” but the measurements in the description say half, and that measuring cup looks like a half. Which one is correct? (I know it’s only a little more than 2 tablespoons different.) also, shouldn’t 2 cups plus two tablespoons of flour be 255 grams? 🤔
The best way to ripen bananas is to let them stay on the counter till the skin darkens. Way more flavourful and custardy

I take a lil issue with your leveling method-it looks like the bench scraper is kind of packing it in at the angle you’re holding it! 😅
The reason they don't make pre-sliced bananas is because bananas are so cheap (most grocery stores sell bananas at a loss) and people probably wouldn't want to pay the premium price to have pre-sliced and frozen ones when they're always ripe year round unlike most berries and other fruit
