How do you make Easy Banana Bread Recipe?

First things first!  You are going to need 3-4 old bananas!  The ones that nobody wants to eat because they don’t look pretty anymore.  You know the ones with large black spots on the skin.  Sometimes I even take these old bananas and cook them right in their skins a little bit just to make sure they are super soft and all the sappy sugar is released.  Now mash those bananas well until they are pretty smooth. If you cooked them in the oven make sure they are fulled cooled before adding the rest of the ingredients.  Add the eggs, vanilla, safflower oil and Greek yogurt to the bowl with the mashed bananas.

In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, sugar and salt. Now pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.  Pour into a well greased 9×5 inch loaf pan and bake for about one hour. Let cool for about 15 minutes before inverting the pan and cooling on a wire rack.

See there is nothing too.  A couple of easy steps and you have yourself a fresh loaf of amazing Banana Bread.  This recipe is so easy that even the novice cook can handle it.

Tips for making Easy Banana Bread Recipe

• For best flavor use very over-ripe bananas.
• If over-ripe bananas are not available you can ripen bananas by placing them in the oven unpeeled. Place the bananas on an old cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for about 15 minutes. Cool before preparing the recipe.
• Bring eggs to room temperature for better incorporation and fluffier lighter bread.
• Stick to the amount of bananas in the recipe. Adding more bananas can make your bread too dense.
• Sweet bread dough should be mixed just until incorporated.  Over mixing can result in a dense rubbery loaf.
