Tips:

  • Prep your loaf pans: Grease and flour your mini loaf pans, or line them with parchment paper, to ensure the loaves come out cleanly.
  • Measure ingredients accurately: Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure the correct proportions of ingredients. This will help ensure the loaves bake evenly and have the right texture.
  • Mix the batter until just combined: Overmixing can result in tough, dense loaves. Mix the batter until the ingredients are well combined, but do not overmix.
  • Fill the loaf pans halfway: The loaves will rise as they bake, so only fill the loaf pans halfway to prevent overflowing.
  • Bake the loaves until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure the loaves are cooked through.
  • Let the loaves cool before slicing: This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.

These cherry banana mini loaves are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
