CLASSIC BANANA BREAD
Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC/350°F and grease and line a standard size loaf tin (approximatley 20cmx12cm / 9" x 5") with baking paper.
- In the bowl of a mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Beat in the bananas. At this point, your batter will split and look curdled. Don't be alarmed, the flour will fix that.
- Add the dry ingredients then mix until just combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf tin and place in the oven.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cover with foil halfway to prevent over browning.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool before removing the banana bread from the tin.
- Slice and serve.

Tips:
- Prep Work: Before you start baking, make sure all your ingredients are measured and ready to go. This will ensure the baking process runs smoothly and efficiently.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best results, make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing them together. This will allow them to combine more easily and create a smooth batter.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to a tough and dense loaf of banana bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
- Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Look for bananas with dark yellow peels and brown spots.
- Don't Crowd the Loaf Pan: When pouring the batter into the loaf pan, make sure not to fill it all the way to the top. Leave about an inch of space at the top to allow the bread to rise during baking.
- Bake in a Preheated Oven: Always preheat your oven before baking the banana bread. This will help ensure the bread bakes evenly and properly.
Conclusion:
With its moist, flavorful texture and delectable crumb topping, this classic banana bread recipe is a treat that everyone will love. Whether you're baking for a special occasion or just want a delicious snack, this recipe is sure to satisfy.
