Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Allowing the batter to rest for a few minutes before baking will help it to develop more flavor and rise better.
  • Bake at the right temperature: Banana bread should be baked at a moderate temperature of 350°F (175°C). This will help it to bake evenly without drying out.
  • Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the banana bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the bread needs to bake for a few minutes longer.

Conclusion:

Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and nutty aroma, banana bread is a perfect snack or dessert. These are some important tips to keep in mind when making banana bread: Use ripe bananas, don't overmix the batter, let the batter rest before baking, bake at the right temperature, and check for doneness.
