How do you like your banana bread? We're split in my house. Do you go for the classic or loaded with nuts/chocolate?
anyone know how the end product may change by using bread flour instead of AP?
Just made this Classic version with toasted walnuts. WOW! Can't stop eating it. Next time will be with chocolate chunks and walnuts. Thanks Bri!
2;27 AM DECEMBER 20, 2022 MY FIRST TIME TO SUBSCRIBE, AND I SW YOUR RECIPE BANANA BREAD, I LOVE THE WAY YOU COOK ADN THE PROCEDURE OF BAKING BANANA BREAD, I LVOE IT THE WAY YOU DID IT. LOOKS SO GREAT AND LOOKS SO YUMMY SO SOFT AND FLUFFY. THANKS AND GOD BLESS
Do you think this would be a good application for brown butter?
My new go to B-bread recipe. I'm suscribed to ATK, too. Add, to be fair, they have a lot of good stuff. But, i'm trying more and more of your stuff. This b-bread is killer, kids like it, easy to make. Thank you.
Brian- I just wanted to say thank you for this recipe. I have my own home bakery business, and someone ordered banana bread which wasn't on my current menu, so my first thought was to see if you had a recipe for it. I knew I could trust you to make something amazing. I had a bit of extra batter and made a muffin to try, and it is the best banana bread I have ever had. All of your recipes stand out to me, and they all are absolutely amazing. I am only 17, so I know I have a long way to go. You inspire me so much and I love all your videos 🙂
Is there a printable version of this available?
Hi Brian, love the channel. I made this recipe yesterday and gotta say it is a disappointment. Just lacking a strong banana flavor and the texture was not what I expect in a banana/pumpkin/zucchini bread. Just not super moist. The amount of leavening made it kind of spill over and I could def taste it in the final product. I highly recommend the Ultimate Banana Bread from Smitten Kitchen, which I made a few weeks ago. It differed from your recipe in having about 2/3 the flour and egg and a touch less banana to the same amount sugar and butter for the same size pan with just 1 teaspoon each of powder and soda. I think the sugar is probably most responsible for turning up the banana flavor, but some cinnamon and higher banana % help with the flavor too.
Thanks for creating such quality content. I have made others I loved and looking forward to putting this new kitchen aid to use!

My sister would say you way overbaked the banana bread, as she likes hers almost still runny in the middle. Yeah, the rest of us look at her slightly askew too 😀 Definitely going to try that loaded version soon!
Tiny homes started out at under $20,000 it took absolutely no time for money grabbers to take it from cheap affordable living to outrageous.
Super Orange Eggs …….
My Mom taught us to that banana bread was a great way to use up old bananas and that they had a more concentrated banana flavor. I'm not familiar with baking the fresher bananas, but
we used to freeze peeled bananas and then let the thaw to get the "over ripe" banana effect, similar to your refrigerator method.
Do you have any panettone recipe?❤
Do I half the baking time if I'm half-ing the recipe?
do people buy bananas with the explicit purpose of making banana bread? yall aren't just saving all your old bananas in the freezer until you have too many so you whip up some banana bread? what?
Love love your videos. I make banana bread quite often. Our HEB most of the time has a bag of ripe bananas for a very good price. Day after I bake bread we put butter on it and put it on a comal to brown it. Soooo good, just FYI.
Hey Bri! Do you have a recipe for lemon poppyseed jumbo muffins worked up? Loved the jumbo blueberry muffs!
Just made it, couldn’t wait for it to cool. Holy moly my man. Thank you
Can you do zucchini bread? It's my absolute favorite but I cant find it very often

Oh my goodness! This is the BEST banana bread!
I followed 100% the recipe and it’s just MAGIC.
I’d never go back to another one. Thank you, Bri!!!
What kind of eggs did you use. They look very redish.
Thank you thank you thank you for being a weirdo like me who absolutely positively loves banana bread but hates the nuts 🙂
Have made this bread a couple of times – delicious. Quantities for the 1lb version are a bit off though, my bread spilled over side of tin during cooking.
This amounts worked for me:
4 bananas
2 large eggs
80g dark brown sugar
45g black treacle
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
90g sour cream
2 tbsp olive oil
75g butter
280g flour
1-1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
I tried making banana bread once. It came out disgusting. To this day, I am not sure if I messed up following the recipe, or if I just don't like banana bread.
I'm going to try this with pumpkin.
