Steps:
- Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine.
- Select the Dough setting, and press Start. Mix the bread for 3 to 5 minutes until the bananas are mashed and all ingredients are thoroughly combined. If necessary, use a rubber spatula to push the dough from the sides of the bread pan. When 3 to 5 minutes have passed on the clock display, press Stop. Do not continue mixing. Smooth out the top of the loaf with the rubber spatula.
- Select the Bake setting, and press Start. The Bake cycle time may vary with machines, but should be about 50 minutes. To test the bread for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center top. Remove the toothpick. If the bread is done, the toothpick will come out clean. If there is batter on the toothpick, reset the machine on Bake and continue to bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Test again with the toothpick to ensure the bread is completely baked. Remove the pan from the machine, but allow the bread to remain in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the bread to cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:
- Prep Time - 10 minutes
- Baking Time - 1:40 hours
- Bread Machine Settings - Sweet Quick Bread, Light Color, 2 lb
- Beat the eggs.
- Mash bananas with a fork.
- Soften the butter in microwave.
- Add the eggs, butter & bananas into the bread pan and then add the other ingredients. Try to follow order of the ingredients listed above so that liquid ingredients are placed in the bread pan first and the dry ingredients second. Be aware that the bread pan should be removed from the bread machine before you start to add any ingredients. This helps to avoid spilling any material inside the bread machine. The bread machine should always be unplugged when removing the bread pan.
- Put the bread pan (with all of the ingredients) back into the bread machine, close the bread machine lid and then plug in the bread machine.
- Enter the bread machine settings (Sweet Quick Bread, Light Color) and press the start button. FYI - Before making this recipe, please read the tips section below for more information regarding the sweet quick bread setting used to make banana breads. The setting may be called "quick bread", "quick bread/cake", "cake", etc. However, some manufacturers use the "quick bread" setting are for rapid sandwich-type breads that use yeast (and not for quick breads such as banana bread that use baking powder/soda). Therefore, this setting can be very confusing... but the tips section below will help you to find the right setting to use on your machine. You need to enter the correct banana bread setting used by your SPECIFIC bread machine model or the banana bread could be under or overcooked.
- Optional - If you want to add chopped walnuts or mini chocolate chips to enhance this basic banana bread recipe, please add them after the first bread machine mixing cycle and before the second mixing (final mixing).
- When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine, remove the bread pan and place it on a wooden cutting board. Use oven mitts when removing the bread pan because it will be very hot!
- Optional - Use a long wooden skewer to test if the banana bread is completely cooked. Wear oven mitts as the bread pan will be hot. See the tips section for more details on this classic "toothpick" test.
- After removing the bread pan from the bread machine, you should let the banana bread stay within the warm bread pan on a wooden cutting board for 10 minutes (as this finishes the baking process) before you remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Wear oven mitts.
- After 10 the minute "cooldown", you should remove the banana bread from the bread pan and place the banana bread on a wire cooling rack to finish cooling. Use oven mitts when removing the bread.
- Don't forget to remove the mixing paddle if it is stuck in the bread. Use oven mitts as the mixing paddle could be hot.
- You should allow the banana bread to completely cool before cutting. This can take up to 2 hours. Otherwise, the banana bread will break (crumble) more easily when cut.

Steps:
- Squish or chop the bananas. I found putting them into a ziploc bag and smooshing them works best.
- Add rest of ingredients.

- Watch as it mixes to ensure all flour is mixed inches.
- If you have the ability to allow it to mix, turn it off and then go to bake only cycle, do that to keep the dough from getting overworked.
- Bake for 1 hour and test for doneness. Add 10-20 if a toothpick inserted does not come out clean.
- Obviously this will not come out a large loaf like regular bread, but it is a nice sized banana bread.

Tips:
- Measuring Ingredients Accurately: Use measuring cups and spoons that are specifically designed for cooking. Level off dry ingredients with a knife or straight edge to ensure accurate measurements.
- Ripe Bananas: Use ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and texture in your banana bread. Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the bread.
- Mixing Technique: Avoid overmixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense banana bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, and do not over-beat the eggs.
- Baking Time and Temperature: Follow the recipe's instructions carefully for baking time and temperature. Overbaking can dry out the banana bread, while underbaking can leave it raw in the center.
- Checking for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the banana bread. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached, the bread is done. Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness.
- Cooling and Storing: Allow the banana bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This helps to set the texture and prevent crumbling. Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Conclusion:
With its moist texture, delicious banana flavor, and ease of preparation, banana bread is a classic quick bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet treat. By following these tips and experimenting with different variations, you can create a perfect loaf of banana bread that will satisfy your cravings and impress your friends and family.
