Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Step 2

If necessary, grease/spray the bread pan or use baking parchment paper to line the bread pan.

Step 3

Mash bananas with a fork.

Step 4

Lightly beat eggs.

Step 5

Soften the butter in a microwave.

Step 6

Stir bananas, eggs, butter (or oil), milk and white & brown sugars together in a large mixing bowl. Mix until fully blended.

Step 7

Mix in remaining ingredients. Stir until the batter is fully mixed.

Step 8

Optional – If you want to enhance this 2 banana bread recipe, you can stir in 1 cup of your family’s favorite dessert ingredient (i.e. chocolate chips or chopped walnuts) after you have mixed the batter.

Step 9

Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.

Step 10

Bake in the oven for 60-65 minutes at 325 F or until golden brown.

Step 11

Take bread pan out of oven and let the banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.

Step 12

Optional - Right after taking the bread pan out of the oven, use a long wooden skewer to test if the banana bread is completely cooked. Wear oven mitts as the bread pan will be hot. See the tips section for more details on this classic "toothpick" test.

Step 13

After 10 minutes, remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the banana bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.
