Tips for making the perfect banana bread
- Do not overmix that batter. The banana bread will have a much lighter texture if the batter is mixed until just combined.
- Use ripe bananas for this recipe, the riper the better.
- Frozen bananas can be used in this recipe, simply adjust the mixing time for the wet ingredients as needed.
- If adding sultanas, chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the banana bread, fold them through just before pouring the batter into the loaf tin.
Ingredients and substitutions
- Self raising flour – If you don’t have any self raising flour on hand, use 1 3/4 cups of plain flour and 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder.
- Bi carb soda – Otherwise known as baking soda, and not to be confused with baking powder.
- Brown sugar – The brown sugar can be substituted with 1/2 cup white sugar, or a combination of 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar.
- Eggs – 2 large sized eggs, approximately 58g each, were used in this recipe.
- Milk – Full fat milk was used in this banana bread, but lower fat varieties of milk can also be used.
- Butter – Salted butter was used in this recipe. Unsalted butter can also be used, but you may like to add a pinch of salt to the batter.
- Bananas – Use 2 large, ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more intense the flavour will be.
