The best thing about this banana bread recipe is that a fancy mixer is not required! You only need a mixing bowl, a fork to whisk the eggs, and a strong spoon to stir the batter. The amount of sugar is negotiable. White sugar was asked for in the original recipe in the amount of one cup, but most people—including myself—do just fine with 3/4 cup, and many are content with 1/2 cup.

If desired, you can add a cup of chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips; alternatively, you can bake banana-nut muffins with the dough in muffin pans. Even further, you could make chocolate banana bread.

This recipe for banana bread was handed to me years ago by my friend Heidi H, who had gotten it from Mrs. Hockmeyer, the mother of a ski pal, many years earlier. Regards, Heidi

How to Make Banana Bread

The Best Loaf Pan for This Recipe

An 8 x 4-inch loaf pan is required for this recipe, resulting in a tall loaf. The recipe will also work in an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan, although the bread will come out a little bit shorter. The baking time is a little less because the pan is a bit bigger: 47 to 57 minutes. A very brief but still tasty bread will result from baking for 45 to 55 minutes in a 9 × 5-inch pan.

Adapt This Banana Bread Recipe

  • Swap out all of part of the sugar for light brown sugar.
  • Replace up to half of the flour with white whole wheat flour.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  • Mix in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or dried fruit.
  • Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (not baking powder)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup (150g) sugar (1/2 cup if you would like it less sweet, 1 cup if more sweet)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (205g) all-purpose flour

    350°F/175°C for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. In contrast to moist batter streaks, a few dry crumbs are acceptable. Loosely tent the loaf with foil and bake it for an additional few minutes if the exterior of the loaf is browned but the inside is still damp.

  1. Cool and serve:

    Take out of the oven, then let cool in the pan for a while. When ready to serve, take the banana bread out of the pan and let it cool fully. Slice, then dish. (Using a bread knife makes it easier to cut slices that won't crumble.)

    The banana bread will keep for four days at room temperature if it is properly wrapped. The bread can be frozen or refrigerated for prolonged storage for up to 5 days. Banana Bread Recipe
