Step by step on how to bake Banana Bread

Prep

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.

Then, line a loaf pan with parchment paper. This will make it much easier to perfectly remove your loaf later!

Bread batter

Next, in a food processor, add your bananas, sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Blend at low speed until all the ingredients have been well combined.

After that, add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda as well as the ground cinnamon and salt.

Continue to blend together until there are no streaks of flour remaining in the batter.

Proceed to pour the batter into your prepared bread loaf pan.

Bake

Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean. You can also test it by using a cooking thermometer, the internal temperature should read between 190 degrees F and 200 degrees F.

Be sure to let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes then turn it over onto a wire rack to finish cooling completely.

Slice into 12 even slices, serve and enjoy!

How do I avoid having sunken bread?

The easiest and best way to avoid sunken bread is to use a cooking thermometer to check the inside of the loaf. Fully cooked bread will register 200°F on a thermometer. My all-time favorite thermometer is the Thermapen. It is super fast and incredibly durable. Another great cooking thermometer is the ThermoPop which is a more basic version that works just as well.

Can I freeze banana bread?

Absolutely! Banana bread can be frozen after it has cooled completely. Just wrap it in wax paper and then store it in a ziplocked plastic bag or airtight container, for up to 3 months. This will prevent some freezer burn and help to get it to last even longer. Just thaw before eating and enjoy!

Can I use green bananas to make banana bread?

No, they are not a great option. Green bananas are not very sweet and are naturally a little more fibrous and harder to mash. The yellow bananas become more naturally sweet the softer they become, making them perfect for baking. Bananas are perfect when they’re a deep yellow and starting to become speckled with brown spots on the peel. That is a great indicator that they are ready for baking!
