Banana Bread Recipe

  • Peel bananas and then place into a large bowl.
  • Mash bananas with a fork or mix with a KitchenAid mixer with the paddle attachment.
  • Add a dash of salt and then mix to combine.
  • Crack 1 egg into a bowl then mix the egg into the bananas, doing so helps reduce any shells in the batter.
  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in a microwavable dish and then slowly add to the bowl and combine.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together 1 tsp baking soda with 1 Tbsp water, then pour this mixture into the KitchenAid mixing bowl and combine.
  • If desired, add 1/2 tsp vanilla and then a dash of cinnamon.
  • Pour 1 cup of flour into the bowl and mix on slow until just combined.
  • Add the second cup of flour and then mix on slow, making sure to not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into a sprayed loaf pan and spread it out with a spatula.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.

Notes

Pro-Tip: To make French toast out of banana bread, you first need to let the fully cooked loaf cool to the touch before you can cut slices. I let ours rest for twenty minutes and then cut the loaf into just shy of 1-inch slices.
