Description

This banana bread recipe yields a moist, flavorful loaf packed with rich banana taste. Perfect for breakfast or snack, it combines overripe bananas with a buttery, sweet batter for an irresistibly tender texture. Loved by friends and family, this classic banana bread tastes even better toasted and is easy to prepare in just over an hour.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 ⅓ cups mashed overripe bananas

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients and Pan: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  3. Cream Sugar and Butter: In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the brown sugar and butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a luscious base.
  4. Add Eggs and Bananas: Stir the beaten eggs and mashed overripe bananas into the sugar and butter mixture, blending well for a consistent batter.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the batter and maintaining tender crumb.
  6. Fill Pan and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
  7. Cool the Bread: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove it and transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice as desired and enjoy plain or toasted for enhanced flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the wet and dry ingredients are combined to keep the bread tender.
  • If desired, add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and taste.
  • Store banana bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • This banana bread is delicious toasted with a pat of butter.
