[The Most Versatile] Banana Bread

I have been making this banana bread every week for 5 weeks now. Each week I do a different mix in and they are all decadent. I highly recommend getting creative and trying out your own mix in! Variations listed below ingredients. The picture below is of the blueberry banana bread muffin.

Ingredients:

  • 3 overripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 cups flour [I’ve also used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free flour and it is AMAZING in this recipe]

Variations:

  • Option One: 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Option Two: 2 tsp cinnamon, 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • Option Three: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • Option Four: 1 cup shredded zucchini, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350*
  • Mash bananas with a fork
  • Whisk eggs, vanilla, brown sugar, sugar, salt, butter, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon until fully combined [I do this by hand but you can use a stand mixer, just mix on medium low]
  • Add in flour, one cup at a time, and mix until fully combined
  • Place parchment paper into two loaf pans or use 24 cupcake liners
  • *If using option one, three, or four, stir in extra ingredients now
  • Divide batter evenly either between loaf pans or cupcake tin
  • *If using option two, stir together cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle onto loaves, swirl into loaves or muffins using a toothpick or spoon
  • Bake loaves for 48-60 minutes and muffins for 22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean
