Banana Bread

banana bread

What do you with 6 over ripe bananas? Why make Banana-nanna Bread of course! This is by far the best Banana Bread I’ve ever had. Its perfectly moist and is packed with bananas so you get the full flavor of the fruit.

Banana Bread Recipe

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt (or 1/4 tsp table salt)
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/2 cups mashed overripe bananas (about 4 bananas)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir until well combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

I love using my Pampered Chef loaf pan for this. The kids LOVE this bread warm with some butter.

    I’ve tried out this recipe and it’s wonderful ^^ I also added some other spices cause I like a bit more subtle flavours like a tsp of vanilla essence,cinammon and a pinch of nutmeg – simply delicious!

    This looks like A good recipe however I would leave the nuts out…why do you use kosher salt as opposed to common table salt though?

      because I normally cook with table salt — it’s my “house salt” For baking, I should prob use table salt. :-)

    I, too, am a lover of spices. If you have Chinese Five Spice on hand, try using it in your Banana Bread – It is really yummy!
