Best Ever Banana Bread Recipes

Victoria Knight February 17, 2020

This is my favorite banana bread recipe, one that I’ve cherished for years. It’s the recipe that comes to mind first when I have leftover spotty bananas on the counter and the bread that’s on constant rotation in my freezer stash. This is the best ever banana bread recipe and if you haven’t tried it yet, now’s the time.

Avery basic and very forgiving recipe that takes all of 10 minutes to whisk together. An hour of waiting while your house fills with tempting aromas and then you’ll be snacking on your very own slice of warm, fresh-baked banana bread.

Only Use the Ripest Bananas

Just about the only requirement for making banana bread is that you use ripe bananas. Once the skins start to develop freckles and the fruits are just a little too soft for pleasurable snacking, then it’s banana bread time. Letting your bananas ripen even longer (until the skins are brown and the fruit falls apart when you peel it) will make your bread even more strongly banana-flavored and richer.

With a very few variations, the recipe I give below is universal to almost every church or community cookbook written in the last 50 years. It’s definitely time-tested! It uses ingredients most commonly found in our pantries: white all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, butter, eggs, milk, and baking soda.

Ingredients

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick or 115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup (80g) plain yogurt or sour cream (I use Greek yogurt)
2 cups mashed bananas (about 4 large ripe bananas)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
optional: 3/4 cup (100g) chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. On medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the yogurt, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract on medium speed until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly beat the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no flour pockets remain. Do not overmix. Fold in the nuts, if using.
Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 60-65 minutes. Loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil after 30 minutes to help prevent the top and sides from getting too brown. A toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf will come out clean when the bread is done. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack.
Cover and store banana bread at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Banana bread tastes best on day 2 after the flavors have settled together. See post above for freezing instructions.

How to Freeze Banana Bread

I’ve received a lot of questions about freezing banana bread since I published the recipe, so let me share what works. You can freeze banana bread using these instructions to preserve its fresh flavor and texture for months!

Cool baked banana bread completely.
Tightly wrap the loaf or slices (individually or grouped) in 2-3 layers of plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Place wrapped banana bread in a large freezer-friendly storage bag or reusable container.
Date the bag and freeze for up to 3-4 months. Thaw wrapped or unwrapped in the refrigerator or at room temperature. All methods work like a charm!

Main Course for St Patrick’s Day

GUINNESS BEEF STEW (IRISH STEW RECIPE

HOW TO MAKE GUINNESS BEEF STEW

Slice beef into roughly 2 inch pieces.
Season beef and brown in dutch oven, then transfer to a plate.
Add in onion and garlic, and cook several minutes, until softened.
Cook bacon pieces until browned.
Add flour and stir well, then pour in Guinness beer, scraping the bottom of the pot.
Add tomato paste, celery, carrots, parsnip, seasonings, coffee and chicken stock. Return beef back to the pot.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours.
Add potatoes and prunes and simmer for another 30-40 minutes.
Remove bay leaves and enjoy!

COOKING TIPS FOR IRISH STEW

Brown the beef – if possible… I know it’s an extra step, but I love the extra flavor it adds!
Use sturdy potatoes – I love to use baby Yukon gold potatoes. They’re so buttery, yet they are sturdy and hold up well to a long cooking time. Plus, there’s no need to peel them, just halve or quarter them after washing.
Use tomato paste in a tube – Since you only need a little bit for this recipe, I find using tubed tomato paste easier than figuring out what to do with the remaining 5 oz of the can.
The prunes – are optional, but I highly recommend them. Both the Guinness and the coffee can be a bit bitter, and the prunes really help alleviate that.
Don’t forget to dip some crusty bread into the stew!
