The Best Banana Bread Recipe
If you follow my instagram, you probably know how much I love bananas, and banana bread. It’s most definitely in my top 3 favorite desserts. I have made many banana bread variations among the years. My first attempts ended up too “banany” (if that’s even a word!) or too dense, and not enough fluffy. I made this cake yesterday evening, and I absolutely fell in love with the texture of it.
Banana bread is super easy to make, and you probably already have all you need at home. I always keep some bananas with me at home, some frozen to quickly threw into a smoothie or to make banana “ice cream”, and some at room temperature to make banana pancakes, cookies or cakes.
For this recipe you will need:
- Bananas (about 130-140g)
- Cinnamon
- Flour
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Butter
- Vanilla Extract
- Baking Powder
Now my favorite way to eat it is with some peanut butter on top, but I used to have a friend who loved to toast it and spread some butter on top. Either way, it’s a win!
