    Firm ripe banana (optional) - to decorate the top of the cake.

    Butter we used salted butter for this recipe, but you could use unsalted butter instead. 

    Brown sugar - you can use light or dark brown for this recipe.

    Eggs - we use large eggs that weigh about 58 grams (2 ounces) on average.

    Self rising flour - This flour has a rising agent mixed into it. However, if you can't get self rising flour, you can use plain flour and 2 level teaspoons of baking soda.

    Mixed spice powder - is used for flavor, but you could also use cinnamon powder.

    🍳 Instructions

    A baking tin lined with baking paper.

    Step 1 - Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line the inside of the baking tin with baking paper.

    When done, remove the banana bread from the oven, cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

    💭 Recipe Tips

    Ripe Bananas

    Use extra ripe bananas that are almost black-looking (the ones you would want to throw away) because when like this, they are super sweet and ideal for making banana bread.

    Don't Over Mix

    Avoid over mixing the batter because over mixing will make the bread dry and tough.

    Mix it just enough to get the flour combined into the batter, and no more.

    How To Tell When It's Baked

    To test if the banana bread is ready, insert a skewer into the center of the loaf, and if the skewer comes out clean, it is ready.

    Prevent Overbrowning

    Check the cake after 30 minutes. If the top of the cake looks like it is going too dark, loosely cover the cake with a piece of aluminium foil, this will prevent burning.

    👪 Serving Size

    We cut this loaf into 12 even slices, about 1.8 cm (0.7 inches) thick. However, you can cut the banana bread into any thickness you like.

    🍬 Calories Per Serve

    A single 1.8 cm (0.7 inches) thick slice has about 211 calories.

    📖 Variations

    Chocolate chip banana bread - mix in 1 cup of chocolate chips.

    Banana nut bread - mix in ½ to ¾ cups of toasted chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.

    🌡️ Storage

    Refrigeration - Banana bread can be stored at room temperature for 2 days, then moved to the fridge.

    Freezing - Allow the banana bread to cool completely. You can either leave the loaf whole, cut it into half or slices, then wrap it in several layers of plastic, label and freeze it for up to three months.

    Do you use self-rising flour or plain flour for banana bread?

    You can use either. If you use plain flour, you will need to add two level teaspoons of baking soda.

    How many bananas do I need for banana bread?

    This banana bread recipe will need five large overripe bananas and is about 1 ⅓ cups of mashed bananas.
