Written by on in Bread

Craving for some warm banana bread fresh out of your oven? This is a very easy, moist and delicious banana bread recipe. This is a classic banana bread recipe that we learnt to bake over the weekend with just a few ingredients.

You would definitely crave more than a slice! The beauty of this Banana Bread recipe is just the few ingredients. You don’t need a fancy stand mixer!

Feel free to toss in some nuts, raisins, chocolate chips if you want or add this batter into a muffin tray to make banana bread muffins!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2-3 medium bananas (8-9 inches long), peeled and mashed (About 1 ½ cups) 
  • ⅓ cup butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 
  • ½ tsp salt 
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 ½ cup all purpose flour

PROCEDURE

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and line your loaf tray with butter. Dust with flour and your loaf tray is ready (Keep aside)
  • In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Add ⅓ cup melted butter and mix well 
  • Mix in ½ tsp baking soda and ½ tsp salt 
  • Add ¾ cup of sugar, one beaten egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Combine well
  • Add 1 ½ cup all purpose flour and combine the batter (This batter will be slightly thicker than a regular cake batter) 
  • Pour this batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour at 350F or until a wooden skewer comes out clean 
  • Remove from the oven and let the banana bread cool for about 5 minutes in the loaf pan
  • Then remove the banana bread from the loaf pan and let it cool completely before serving 
  • Slice and devour! 

PRO TIPS

  • You can refrigerate banana bread in an airtight container for about a week. Remember to slightly warm up a slice before devouring 
  • You can also add some chocolate chips or walnuts to the banana bread or have it the traditional way with some butter 
  • You can also adjust the amount of sugar to your liking and even swap one sugar for another. Try raw or brown sugar for an added caramel-like flavor.
  • If you are dairy-free and are avoiding butter, use equal parts coconut, olive, or vegetable oil instead
