THE BEST BANANA BREAD RECIPE

Oh So Busy Mum
This is seriously the BEST and easiest banana bread recipe that you will make! It's moist, buttery and has a soft crumb top. You only need 2 large bananas to make it and a few other ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup salted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large over ripe bananas
  • ⅓ cup plain greek yoghurt you can also use sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180°c and grease a loaf non-stick tin. I line it with baking paper to help remove the loaf when cooked.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and cinnamon. Whisk together to remove lumps and add air to the flour mixture.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together butter and brown sugar until smooth. It will look creamy and pale when whisked. You can use a spatula for this part to remove any butter lumps too.
  • Add the vanilla, eggs, yoghurt, and banana to the butter mix, and whisk together.
  • Add the flour mix to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick when combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a prepared loaf tin and bake in the oven for 60/ 65 minutes. Make sure you cover the banana bread with foil at the 30 minute mark to save the top from burning.
  • If the banana bread isn't ready when inserting a skewer, continue to cook checking on it every 5 minutes until cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for an hour. Remove from the tin and slice.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

TIPS - Insert a skewer; if it comes out clean, the banana bread is ready. Feel free to add chocolate chips or walnuts to the cake for even more flavour. 
STORAGE - You can store this banana bread in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
