This is one of my most requested recipes. Who isn't a fan of banana bread? I know I am! It makes a great snack or breakfast item. When I was a child, my mom used to make banana bread on Sundays so I could take a slice from the loaf each day to school for the rest of the week. I find myself keeping up with that tradition when I bake my mom's banana bread. If I know I am going to have a busy week ahead, I make a loaf of banana bread the weekend before so during the week I can just cut a slice and go.
Ingredients: - 8 tablespoons butter - 1 cup granulated sugar - 2 eggs - 3 ripe bananas - 1.5 tablespoons milk - 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon - 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 2 tablespoons flaxseeds - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1 teaspoon salt Optional: walnuts, raisins, or chocolate chipsPreheat your oven to 325F. Butter a loaf pan (you can also use baking spray instead) and set aside. Cream together the butter and sugar. Once fluffy, add the eggs one at a time (add an egg then beat, add another egg and beat). In another bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or a spoon until mushy. Add the milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix together. Add the banana mixture to the egg mixture and cream together. In another bowl, mix the flour, flaxseed, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together. Slowly add the flour mixture to the creamy egg mixture. Mix completely until all flour is mixed in. Pour batter into the loaf pan. Place into the oven and bake for one hour.

This recipe sounds amazing. I love banana bread and have been looking for a good recipe, the ones I’ve tried haven’t come out quite the way I’d like them too. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Alyssa and thank you for this recipe ! Being French, I really want to test and taste. A question gives me what the baking powder? What it’s like for us French ? Sorry for my bad English, I make an effort to read you 🙂
Hey Oxalys!
I’m Canadian but living in France right now and I had the same problem. I couldn’t find baking powder because it translates weirdly and isn’t sold the same as it is in Canada. However, I finally found it. It’s what you call “levure chimique” I believe. It’s a white powder. So far, I’ve only been able to find it in little packets here. Hope that helps 🙂
Alyssa,
This is good banana bread! Thank you for sharing! I can see that I will be coming back for more from this section of Jumpers & Jasmine.
