Best Banana Bread Recipe

Best Banana BreadI don’t like bananas.  I never have.  I don’t even like banana flavored or scented things.  Pretty much the only way I’ll eat bananas is in banana bread, and I love banana bread.  I tried many, many recipes of banana bread until I found this one.  I also make a double chocolate banana bread that I will share another day.  Usually make both loaves on the same day as some of my family prefers the plain and others prefer the chocolate.  That way everyone is happy! 

Ingredients:
2 medium bananas
2 eggs
1/3 cup buttermilk (or buttermilk substitute below)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups sugar
  1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Mash the bananasI can always find a kid to mash the bananas for me and stir the ingredients.  They are a huge help when I am in a hurry.  I have made this recipe with 1, 1 1/2, or 2 bananas and it has always come out good so don’t worry if you don’t have the exact amount of bananas.  

Mix in eggs and sugarAdd the eggs.  They should be slightly beaten.  I just add them to the bowl and beat them with a fork before stirring them in.  Then add oil, sugar, and buttermilk. 

I rarely have buttermilk so I just make my own.  It’s so easy to substitute!  For a third cup buttermilk just add 1 teaspoon vinegar.  I use cider vinegar.  Then add enough milk to fill a 1/3 cup.  Stir and let is set for about 5 minutes! 

Mix in dry ingredientsNext add the flour, salt and baking soda.  Mix and add nuts if desired.  Pour into a 9×5 loaf pan coated with cooking spray and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1 hour 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. 

Favorite Banana Bread

Enjoy!  I love it fresh out of the oven with butter. 

So many cold Texas winter days has me baking more than usual.  My kiddos are loving it!  I hope you and yours are staying warm! 

Best Banana Bread EVER!

Esther

    I love banana bread! But I also love almost anything banana flavored. I could make a Forest-Gump-like list of all the ways, but I don’t want to make you sick! Thanks for the recipe! Think I’ll have to go make some now…

    I LOVE banana anything. I can’t get enough. (Save your banana laffy taffys for me.) However, I bought some bananas last week that I never got around to eating, so I’m going to make this bread today.

    I didn’t make it 🙁 I don’t have any buttermilk. I made a different recipe, and it was GROSS! I’ll definitely try this one another time.

    Oh no Mari, I’m so sorry! I always use a buttermilk substitute. I have it written in the body of the post, but I think I’ll put it in the ingredient section too.

    ahhh- the last post – I just finished a week of reading your entire blog from start to finish. Last Friday I fell down some stairs and tore my shoulder muscles. Unable to hold a book and finding it difficult to sleep in a sling I looked for a blog to read and stumbled across yours. Boy am I glad I did, it kept me in stitches and tears and made me think these past 7 nights until I could drift off. Thanks for the entertaining stories, I look forward to more!

    Banana bread is always good and yours looks delicious 🙂 The weather here has been perfect for baking too, especially in the evening or early morning.
