Banana bread ingredients
You likely already have all the ingredients you will need for this banana bread recipe on hand. If not, here is what to add to your grocery list:
◆ Flour: All-purpose flour gives the banana
bread structure.
◆ Baking soda: Baking soda acts as a leavener, which means it helps the banana bread rise.
◆ Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavour, but it won’t make the loaf taste salty.
◆ Butter: A stick of butter lends richness,
moisture, and irresistible flavour. ◆ Brown sugar: Brown sugar sweetens
things up and adds a hint of warmth. ◆ Eggs: Eggs act as a binding agent, which
means they hold the batter together. ◆ Bananas: Of course, you’ll need bananas!
Choose overripe bananas.
How to make banana bread
You will find the full, step-by-step recipe below, but here is a brief overview of what you can expect when you make this simple banana bread:

How to make banana bread moist
This banana bread is super moist thanks to butter, eggs, and brown sugar (which adds more moisture than white sugar). Plus, mashed bananas have plenty of moisture on their own. Make sure you store the banana bread properly to keep it moist for several days.
How long to bake banana bread This banana bread recipe should be perfectly baked after about an hour in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F(175 degrees C). You will know it is done when a toothpick inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean. Make sure you let the bread sit in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out. Otherwise, it
might not stay in one piece. Ingredients
◆ 2 cups all-purpose flour
◆ 1 teaspoon baking soda
◆ ¼ teaspoon salt
◆ ¾ cup brown sugar
◆ ½ cup butter
◆ 2 large eggs, beaten
◆ 2 cups mashed overripe bananas Directions
◆ Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
◆ Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in
a large bowl. Beat brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a separate large bowl until smooth. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
