Ingredients
Dough
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 large overripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 5-x-9-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- To make the dough, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together into a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together bananas, both sugars, egg, and melted butter.
- Fold in flour mixture and stir until smooth. Scoop batter into the prepared pan.
- To make the cinnamon-sugar mixture, mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the batter.
- Bake for 55–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (NOTE: If not adding cinnamon-sugar mixture, cover with aluminum foil for the last 20 minutes of baking.)
Notes
Make Ahead: Place in a large resealable plastic bag and store at room temperature for 3–4 days or in the refrigerator for 7 days. This bread also freezes well. Wrap each loaf in plastic wrap, then place in a resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze for up to 4 months. Thaw at room temperature before warming to your liking.
Need to Ripen Your Bananas Quickly? Just place bananas in their peels on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 5 minutes, or until they are browned.
BANANA BREAD MUFFINS To make Banana Bread Muffins, use the recipe above but divide the batter among the wells of a lined 12-cup muffin tin. Fill each well two-thirds full and bake at 325 degrees F for 16–18 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
