Description

This easy banana bread recipe is a classic, moist loaf perfect for breakfast or a snack. It combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with warm cinnamon and a rich buttery base to create a comforting treat that’s simple to bake and delicious to enjoy.


Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Self-Rising Flour
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 ripe Bananas, diced
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • 125 grams Butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, self-rising flour, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients for a balanced flavor base.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients, add the beaten eggs, and diced bananas. Mix thoroughly until all components are well incorporated into a smooth batter.
  3. Prepare and Bake: Line a baking tin with baking paper and transfer the batter evenly into the tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the banana bread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve and enjoy this moist, flavorful treat warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas with brown spots for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Check doneness around 40 minutes as oven temperatures may vary.
  • You can substitute brown sugar with white sugar, but brown sugar adds moisture and a deeper flavor.
  • Butter can be replaced with an equal amount of oil for a slightly different texture.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely for firmer slices, or serve warm for a softer texture.
