Let’s have the best banana bread recipe at home (So Easy!)

Put a timer on the slap, and let’s make banana bread before it rings, with less effort and a perfect taste. Easy to make, simple to serve, and tasty to eat!

Bring this recipe for those who are seeking to make it perfect and quick for their lunch and even for mood craving.

Well, it is made with baking powder, but some people used to make it with yeast (I don’t know who they’re, but I’ll try too, not now!)

Let’s start with the ingredients:

Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
   Substitute: 1 ½ cups of unsweetened applesauce for a different flavor.

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
   Substitute: Whole wheat flour (for healthier version) or gluten-free blend.

• ½ cup sugar
   Substitute: Coconut sugar, honey, or maple syrup.

• 1 tsp baking soda
   No substitute – essential for rise.

• ¼ tsp salt
   Optional, but enhances flavor.

• 1 egg (beaten)
   Substitute: ¼ cup Greek yogurt or 1 flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water).

• ⅓ cup melted butter
   Substitute: Coconut oil or any neutral vegetable oil.

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
   Optional, but recommended for flavor.

Before we start

Using raw bananas, which is not done yet, isn't a good idea! Use ripe bananas, and for you to acknowledge, the banana which has black spots are the sweetest enough.

As we do bake and preheat your oven, it really matters to heat it over 350f (175c), so don't forget.

If you're not sure about your pan or even sure, I recommend greasing it very first first, or line your loaf pan, it'll help you to not mess and stick.

When the mixture does blend (of course) by hand, do it wisely gently, as if you do over mix the banana bread becomes dense, not soft, or don't even do just mix and left, do mix it cut and fold, I'll let you know for it too.

Whenever you have to see if it is done or not done with a bake, poke toothpick, knife or whatever in the center should be the poke into the center.

P.S: It’s necessary for all of you that I'll ask you to do, be careful with it. You can do it in another way which feels easier and better.

Another thing is to read all the instructions first, so you’ll get an idea of what you’ve to do first.

Lastly, read every instruction wisely like “teaspoon” or “tablespoon” (“tsp” or “tbsp”). Make sure you’re on the right track.

(Read first then start doing anything, it makes it easy for us. Do smart work rather than hard!)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350~f (175~c) and grease the mold, loaf pan thoroughly.

Step 2: Take a large bowl, peel bananas and do mashed with a fork or with a mash tool.

Step 3: Now add sugar, egg (sometimes egg can be bad, so for that reason separately, crack egg into a separate cup then mix into the mixture), melted (at room temper) butter, vanilla and mix well.

Step 4: At this point add our dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix it well until well combined 

(first thoroughly a complete round, then from the middle cut draw a line way, then when you cut immediately up that layer over the other side. Just do this until the batter mixes).

Step 5: After mixing, pour the batter into the pan and bake it in our already preheated oven for 50–60 minutes.

(After time, when you place it out, it'll be done completely, but still check with the method of inserting the toothpick inside its middle.)

When it's done, bake, slice and let it set at room temperature and have it with tea or with some creamy tangy cheese cream!

How to Serve Banana Bread

Banana bread is the best meal to make moods happier, when it's warm or at room temperature. But you still want to have some? There's some you can do:

• You can even have it plain, just slice and eat it.

• Toast into a toaster or on a pan for a crisp edge.

• Applying butter or jam, even honey too.

• Along with ice cream cheese or with Nutella or peanut butter for a creamy, or treatable look.

What Goes with Banana Bread

Along with banana bread itself, a side dish served along with dishes, we still can serve something with it, such as:

• Tea or coffee

• Yogurt

• Fresh fruits

• Whipped cream or ice cream

• Scrambled eggs 

If you thought plain is not working, you may have these choices for serving with!

Conclusion 

Preheat the oven first at 370f (175c) along with greased your loaf pan. Take a large bowl, add peeled banana and mash with a fork or with a mash tool (which feels better), add sugar, egg, butter, and vanilla. Mix it well, then add our dry ingredients like flour, baking soda, and salt and start mixing it gently until well combined. The right way is to cut and fold, avoid over mixing. After mixing it, pour the batter into a greased pan and bake for 50–90 minutes. After time is done when it is baked (if not, insert toothpick. If it is still wet, give it more minutes to bake), let it cool at room temperature, do slices and enjoy with tea or coffee!
