This was my breakfast this morning. A thick slice of yummy banana bread, made all the more delicious by dunking every bite into milk first. Is that weird? I think I would dunk all of my food into milk first if I could. I guess that's a little weird.
Anyway, I've confessed my love for this recipe before, but a lot of you weren't reading then — and with those sad photos, maybe that's for the best! But now I want to personally make sure each and every one of you tastes this bread. It's hearty, but sweet enough for breakfast or dessert; I usually just eat it for both. And lately I've been throwing in a fourth banana and have been loving the super flavorful results. Eat a piece with a big glass of milk... you know you want to.
Banana Bread
1/2 cup canola oil or melted butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 ripe bananas
cinnamon to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, combine sugar and butter (or oil), and stir. Add in the flour and baking soda, and sift the baking soda into the flour first before stirring it all together. Add several shakes of cinnamon.
In a smaller bowl, peel and mash the bananas finely with a fork. Add the bananas to the other mixture, and stir.
Pour batter into a greased and lightly floured bread pan. Bake for about 50 minutes, til deep golden brown.

I've been craving a delicious banana bread all weekend. I have a few ripe bananas in the fridge so I'll have to give this a shot!
ReplyDeleteBanana bread is always a favorite! Nice photo!!
ReplyDeleteI always have brown bananas to use up. Love your recipe!
ReplyDeleteAlejandra - it was absolutely a banana bread sort of weekend, wasn't it?
ReplyDeletehi Kathleen - thanks! i hadn't made this recipe in a loong time; reminded me how much i love banana bread.
Maria - thanks for visiting!
Mmmmm sounds soo good. I want some. Thanks. I might try this!
ReplyDeleteNow this is what I'm talking about... 7 ingredients, mash, mix, pour, bake, eat. I'm just looking to use my overripe bananas, not do anything fancy. :)
ReplyDeleteToday is banana bread day and your recipe is the special guest.
hey my friend and i made this bread and its actually in the over right now. its been in for exactly 50 minutes and its still raw in the middle. we added walnuts, a few chocolate chunks and orange zest and a bit of honey but i didnt think that would effect it that dramatically. any advice or insight?
ReplyDeletehey dan - that's too bad, did it work out all right? it probably has to do with your oven temp. did you preheat? i've had that happen to me with other recipes, and i just keep it in there (covering the top with foil to keep it from getting too brown) for a little while longer until it's fully cooked.
ReplyDeletehow did it taste with your additions?
it turned out ok, we did preheat but im in college and the ovens arent the best at regulation of temps. the sides were a bit over done not dry or burned tho. the bread was still moist cakey and delicious the additions were great orange chocolate honey and the old standard walnuts really delicious, even though we forgot the pinch of salt cinnamin and vanilla extract whoops. all in all turned out well though
ReplyDeleteI have used this recipe twice. I followed your directions exactly and came out with a perfect moist banana bread. Thanks for the recipe
ReplyDeletethat's awesome! i'm glad you tried it out :)
ReplyDeleteThis was a great and easy recipe. It def. took me way longer than 50 mins to bake it through but so far its been super enjoyable and almost half the loaf is already gone!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Anon. — sweet, I'm glad you like it! thanks for commenting :)
ReplyDeleteOk I've made this twice now! (I posted as Anon on May 6). It is so easy and so amazing! Great banana flavor. I actually divide the batter and pour it into two separate loaf pans. They bake up quicker and I think possibly moister. So good!!!
ReplyDeleteI've used it three times. I always leave it in for 1hr and 10min. I live at sea level, maybe that is it?
ReplyDeleteI'm baking this as I type this :) This is my go-to banana bread recipe now!!! I've made it three times and it's basically fool proof. Thank you so much!!!! Oh, and it does definitely take longer than 50 minutes for me too, I'm glad it wasn't just me. Nonetheless, AMAZINGGGGGG XD
