How to make banana bread

This is my husband’s recipe, which he has mastered over the years for Banana Almond Pie Pan Cake and for which he is renowned. He makes it on a regular basis, and it still sells out! It’s fast and easy to produce, and it’s our favourite way to stop wasting overripe bananas. It’s super fluffy and making a perfect on-the-go meal. This recipe also resulted in Banana Muffins.

Flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, vanilla extract, softened butter, milk, and, of course, really ripe bananas are what you’ll need to produce the perfect banana bread. It’s optional to add walnuts and raisins, but they add great flavour and texture, making it into a banana nut loaf.

Banana bread with raisins

Yes, please! If the raisins and walnuts are left out in chewy oatmeal date raisin nut cookies, the recipe will still work. Due to a walnut deficiency in the household, we still keep it nut-free. You’ll always get the softest, most flavorful, and delectable loaf. You can also make Chocolate Chip Banana Bread by replacing them with chocolate chips.

If your bananas are still a little green and you want them to ripen faster, put them on a baking sheet and bake them at 250°F for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on their initial ripeness.

Bananas and recipes

If you’re able to wait a day, put the bunch of bananas (without splitting them) in a paper bag, seal it, and set it aside at room temperature. Ethylene is produced by bananas, which allows them to ripen. Adding an apple to the bag will further speed things up.

My sister Anna turned this into a honey banana bread by omitting the sugar and mixing it with honey. Instead of all-purpose flour, use organic whole wheat flour. 1 tbsp ground flaxseed in place of 1 tbsp flour. When using very mature bananas, will the sugar to 1/2 cup; they can add plenty of sweetness.
