BANANA BREAD INGREDIENTS
Jump to the bottom of the recipe card below this post for full ingredient measurements and instructions.
Below are the main ingredients I used to make the cookies. There are variations in flavor, which I will provide below.
Bananas – Any brand of boxed cake mix will do here
All-purpose flour – Any brand will do.
Eggs – I use two eggs to bind everything together.
Oil – Vegetable oil is fine to use for these cookies, but you can substitute the vegetable oil with coconut or canola oil.
Sugar – Granulated sugar and brown sugar. I have also substituted the granulated sugar for coconut sugar on occasion and it was so good.
Vanilla extract – Real vanilla extract or vanilla beans offer the best flavor
Butter – I use real butter, but this can be substituted with vegetable oil
Nuts -Completely optional, but any kind of nuts work here including, pecans, walnuts, and almonds.
HOW TO MAKE BANANA BREAD
- Prepare the loaf pan: Grease and flour an 8×4 inch loaf pan, then preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Make the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add the melted butter, sugars, mashed banana, and eggs and mix until combined. Then, top with chopped nuts, if using.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350° F for about 1 hour or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean.
