This is my favorite banana bread and tried and true method that I've used for over 15 yrs. I've tried many other banana breads but I always come back to this recipe!! Full of banana flavour, rises perfectly and stays moist. Read more I've even used up to 6 small bananas, just remember the more banana you put in the longer the bake time! Enjoy! See less
Ingredients

- Replace 1/4 cup of flour with unsweetened cocoa powder. (no more or the loaf won't hold together) shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 350F, and lightly grease a 9x5" or 8x4" loaf pan (I only use glass)
- In a large bowl mash the bananas with a fork, and make a well in the center of the mashed bananas (pushing the bananas up the sides of the bowl). Add the brown sugar and melted butter in the well and stir to combine. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix with the sugar and butter. Then incorporate the bananas without over mixing.
- Place a sieve over the bowl and sift in the flour, baking soda, salt and spices. If you're adding chocolate chips or nuts, add them in now.
- Fold together until it's just combined. Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into, if you can.. ;)
- ~For Muffins, grease a 12 cup muffin tin and bake for 20-25 minutes.
