I like classic banana bread, but if given the choice between that and some other breads out there, its my second choice. It always feels like SOMETHING is missing. Do you ever feel that way?
I think I now know what it is. ;) At least for me.
MORE Bananas!
I had a few more bananas needing to be used one day, and thought it might just work if you put more in. I used a different recipe then the normal one, and loved the results.
I hadn’t realized it completely until I printed out the recipe, but it’s from another country. Not too many changes needed, but I modified it slightly.
I totally recommend this, as it’s got such a moist and major banana flavor to it. Much more then the classic banana bread I am used to eating.
Sift the dry ingredients together.
Cream the brown sugar and butter with a beater in separate bowl.
Add the eggs and mashed bananas. The original recipe said to beat the eggs up ahead, I decided to just put them in.
Mix with the dry ingredients.
Pour into pan.
55 minutes later, a banana bread I cannot get enough of!
This is going to be my go to recipe for banana bread from now on.
Totally loved it!
Do you have a special banana bread recipe you use?
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 butter sticks (3/4 cup)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups mashed overripe bananas (About 4 to 5 Bananas)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13x23cm loaf tin.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended (I used wooden spoon at this point). Add banana mixture to flour mixture and stir just to moisten.
- Pour batter into prepared tin and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out on to a wire rack.

I love banana bread but I agree sometimes there is just not enough banana flavor. Banana bread makes me think about this time of year. I will have to try this recipe. It sounds wonderful and the pictures are GREAT!!
