What's your favorite nut for banana bread?

Literally so good! If you make muffins I cooked mine for 25 minutes and they are amazing!

I just made this and it's truly delicious and moist. At first i was unsure about the quantities for the eggs and banana but after making it i have no doubts it is just right. I used chocolate chips and chopped peeled almonds. I garnish with a bit of shredded coconut and sunflowers seeds before baking. DC

Most definitely the best BNB ever! I used 1/4C butter and 1/4C oil. Also used 1/2C granulated sugar and 1/2C dark brown sugar. It did require an additional 10 minutes of cooking time. Well worth the wait!!

This is the best recipe I have tried yet!  Exactly as promised, moist and delicious.
My family all raved about it and it looks as good as it tastes.  I followed the recipe to a T, and it turned out exactly as pictured.  I usually use parchment paper, but I followed your hint for fitting it in the pan and what a great tip!  This recipe is the only one I'll be using from now on.

Thank you.

You were right! This is the only recipe I need. I think my family and I became addictive to banana bread after I tried this recipe. It's super easy to make and it's delicious! I should add that I tweaked this recipe just a little by adding 1/2 tbsp of cinnamon and reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup (vs 1 cup) 🙂.

I was trying to find the best banana bread recipe and I can confirm this is definitely the best! I didn’t have any sour cream so I had to sub with milk and a little vinegar, which I saw some people do in the comments. I also didn’t have an extra egg yolk (I’ve been baking too much oops haha). I read every single review and all of them say they had a success which a great. My family loved it, they said it wasn’t too sweet but a little dry which could be from subbing it with milk and not using the extra egg yolk, but overall for my first time making banana bread tbh i think I did pretty good. It’s a simple delicious recipe and if your a beginner you should be fine as long as you follow everything correctly. Definitely will be making this again when I get more ripe bananas! (and get sour cream and add the extra egg yolk lol)

We used no nuts or chocolate chips due to my child not liking those!! But this is moist and fluffy! Thank you!

no words....HEAVEN

I made this banana bread today. It is so good. I did a few things different. I used 2 eggs, I did not use parchment paper but I did oil the bottom of the pan and up the sides for 1 inch. After the bread cooled ten minutes I went around the pan with a knife then put the bread pan on its side and slipped it out onto a chopping board then I transferred to the wire rack to cool although someone was dropping something by and wanted some so I had to cut into it warm.

This recipe is awesome, I finally made the most perfect banana bread. I have fail so many times trying other recipe before. This is a keeper, I m loving it. Thanks.

How To Make The Best Banana Bread | Delish Insanely Easy

This is the classic banana bread recipe that is made with basic ingredients only, and calls for baking powder instead of soda so that the cake browns less!

The most basic banana bread

all-purpose flour

mL baking powder

mL Diamond Crystal fine kosher salt

unsalted butter (softened)

granulated sugar (or a mix of brown sugar

eggs (room temperature)

mL pure vanilla extract

mashed banana

Preheat the oven to 350 ºF. Butter and flour a 8½&quot; x 4½&quot; loaf pan OR a 9&quot;x5&quot; loaf pan, then line the bottom with a rectangle of parchment paper. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for at least 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl often to make sure the mixture is evenly whipped.

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing in between each addition. Mix in the vanilla.

Add the mashed banana. Mix well, scraping the bottom and sides to incorporate everything.

Dump in the flour and fold it in with your spatula.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf cake pan. Smooth the top to even it out.

Bake for 60–65 minutes for a 9x5&quot; loaf or up to 75 minutes for an 8.5&quot;x4.5&quot; pan, until the edges are a deep golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Our classic banana bread recipe is simple to make and it doesn’t require much hands-on time or special equipment – simply mix everything together in a bowl, then you’re ready to bake. It makes an ideal cake to make with little ones as you don’t need to hover over them while they use an electric mixer. Click here for all of our banana bread recipes.

Banana bread

bananas (about 300 grams) very ripe and brown bananas

unsalted butter, melted

golden caster sugar

vanilla extract cinnamon

eggs

plain flour

tsp baking powder

tsp bicarbonate of soda

milk chocolate

You’ll also need…

Heat the oven to 180C/fan160C/gas 4. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl, then stir in the melted butter and caster sugar with a wooden spoon until well combined.

Stir in the vanilla extract or cinnamon (or use both if you like), then beat in the eggs. Sift in the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda, then gently fold in, along with the chocolate, if using.

Pour the mixture into the loaf tin, then bake for 45-60 minutes. The cake should be well risen and feel springy to the touch. Check it’s done by poking a skewer into the centre – if it comes out clean it’s ready. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then lift out onto a wire rack to cool.

Easy Banana Bread (Classic Banana Bread)

Cups Mashed Bananas

Tablespoons Unsalted Butter ((softened))

Eggs ((large))

Cup White Granulated Sugar

Cups All Purpose Flour

Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Teaspoon Baking Soda

Teaspoon Baking Powder

Teaspoon Salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (163 C).

Mash bananas with a fork.

Slice the butter into smaller chunks &amp; then soften the butter in a microwave. FYI - I semi-melt the butter for better mixability.

Stir bananas, butter, eggs &amp; sugar together in a large mixing bowl. Mix until fully blended.

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

Optional – If you want to enhance this easy “basic” banana bread, 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.

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

Bake in the oven for 65-70 minutes at 325 degree F (163 C).

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

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.

Can u use salted butter and remove the added salt?

I am a 78 y/o male. Not much of a baker. I made great and moist banana bread with this recipe better than any I have had my whole life. Used chopped pecans

Hello! I am a cooking apprentice and have been working in a kitchen for 6 months now, usually about 40 hours a week. We regularly change our desserts and after seeing our bananas, I decided to try out this one. It looks and smells amazing! Haven't gotten the chance to try it yet sadly, but there will hopefully still be a piece left tomorrow.
HOWEVER, the cooking time is not at all accurate, at the very least for professional kitchens. 30 minutes at 160°C was almost too much; it would have been burnt to a crisp had I followed the cooking time.
Good recipe, but do check up on your banana bread regularly instead of blindly trusting the given time.

I will start with a declaration, I am not a baker! Occasionally I get this crazy notion and i try to make something more aggressive than applesauce. Folks, I followed the instructions, I went with metric measures. It worked like a dream come true!!!!! It is as easy and yummy as it promises to be. What a refreshing experience.

I made this bread today with very ripe bananas. It was fantastic. I added a baby strawberry banana yougert packet. It made a great addition. The bread was moist and very flavorful. Would love to print it, but have to screne shoot it to try. Thanks

Excellent recipe!! The bread came out soft and tasty. We added cashews to our and it made a nice snack with some tea. Thank you so much for sharing this delicious treat :)

Great recipe. I’m an old batchelor. My friends and grandkids love this banana bread. It’s easy to make and you can add your favorite nuts or chips.
