Banana Bread

December 29, 2010 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy 10 Comments

We love banana bread. We like to eat it for breakfast and for snacks. A loaf of banana bread doesn’t last long in my house. That’s why I like this recipe that I have used for a long time that makes 2 loaves. One for now, and one to put in the freezer for a quick breakfast or snack later.




Banana Bread


3 cups flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 eggs
2 cups mashed bananas (5-6 medium)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup oil

Grease the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of 2 8×4 loaf pans.

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients.

In another bowl, mash the bananas, and add the eggs and oil, stirring well. Add to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.

Divide into the 2 prepared pans.

Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.

Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely.

Bread can be frozen, whole or sliced, in a freezer bag, or wrapped in foil.

I also baked the batter in a mini muffin pan. I added chocolate chips to the top before baking. These are nice little snacks for the kids. These, also, can be frozen.

Kitchen Tip – I always have a problem with the bottoms of the banana bread sticking to the pan. So much so, that when I remove the bread, part of the bottom stays in the pan. Event though I’m using no stick pans, and greasing the pan well. So now I grease, then flour only the bottom of the pan. Even though every quick bread recipe I have seen calls only for greasing the pan, I have found the flour solves my problem, and my banana breads are intact. Which makes me smile when I serve it. 🙂

    Mmmm. After all the sweets this would taste good. Love how you solved the pan eating the bread dilemma. And the "one for now, one for the freezer." Good for unexpected company, too.

    Hi Linda, I found your blog on the My Romantic Home link party. I'm going to try your banana bread recipe, it sounds good and I like the idea of using a muffin pan! I'm having my first link party called Masterpiece Monday, on my blog, Boogieboard Cottage, this Monday and I would love it if you linked up your recipe!

    Happy New Year, Mary :O)

    It's tragic and maddening. I know Jews have been persecuted for centuries but there comes a time when you just have to fight back and the most simple way is to say no and mean it.If Jews are not save in Israel where else is there to flee to for safety?I've been reading about the early days of Zionism lately. It's not like Israelis don't know how to fight for their lives.As for Israel and the US…screw accusations of Islamophobia. A phobia is an irrational fear. Our fear and anger is legit.

    Mmmmmm yum! Eggplants are my favourite summer vegetable! We eat them A LOT in Italy (especially in the south). In fact, one of my dad’s favourite dishes is an eggplant salad. I am sure he would love this one (and so will I), so I am bookmarking for when he comes to visit! THANK YOU soooo much for the award Sawsan, I feel truly honoured receiving it from you, you know how much I admire your work! Have a great day!

    I would like to use the chance of thanking you for that professional assistance I have enjoyed checking out your site. We are looking forward to the particular commencement of my university research and the whole groundwork would never have been complete without surfing your web blog. If I could be of any help to others, I might be ready to help via what I have learned from here.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
