How To Make Banana Bread

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC) and put the wire rack in the center of the oven. Line an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan with a sheet of parchment paper that extends about 1 inch over the sides to use as handles to remove the loaf after baking.

2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.

3. Cream the butter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room-temperature butter and sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add eggs: Add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well between each addition and scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

5. Make the banana bread batter: Alternate adding the mashed banana to the bowl of wet ingredients, mixing everything with a rubber spatula. Add ⅓ flour mixture, then ½ the mashed bananas, then more flour, then the remaining banana, ending with the remaining flour. Mix until everything is well combined, then give it a quick, 15-second beat with the mixer on low speed.

6. Bake: Pour the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and serve: Remove the banana bread loaf pan from the oven and allow to cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then remove the banana bread loaf from the baking pan, gently remove the parchment paper and allow it to cool further or completely on a baking rack. Once the banana bread loaf has cooled, slice the loaf, serve it on a plate, and enjoy!

How To Store Banana Bread

At room temperature: Wrap the banana bread in plastic wrap or store it in a bread box, and you can keep it at room temperature for about 4 days.

In the fridge: If you want the banana bread to last longer, you can store it in the fridge. Let the bread cool completely, wrap it in plastic wrap, place it in an airtight container, and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

In the freezer: Wrap it in plastic wrap and keep it in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container, and you can store it for up to 3 months.
