Description

A simple, quick recipe for moist banana bread using only two overripe bananas and basic pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups (220 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and levelled
  • 2 teaspoons (8 g) baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, reduce slightly if using salted butter
  • 1/3 cup (75 g) butter, at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup (130 g) white sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (227 ml) bananas, mashed, about 2 medium, very-ripe bananas

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F (not fan-assisted/convection) with the rack in the center of the oven. Reduce the oven temperature by 25F if you use a glass pan.
  2. Prepare an 8.5 x4.5-inch metal loaf pan by spraying it with cooking spray. Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, letting it extend about 1-inch over the sides to use as handles later. Set the pan aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
  4. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to cream together the room temperature butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  6. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the mashed bananas. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture, then 1/2 of the bananas, then more flour, then the remaining banana, ending with the remaining flour. Mix until just combined, then beat for a quick 15 seconds.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and level the top surface.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Start checking the loaf around 40 minutes. Test only when the top is cracked and turning golden.
  9. Remove the loaf from the oven. Let it cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then, remove the loaf from the pan, gently remove the parchment paper, and allow it to cool further or completely on a baking rack.
