It can be easy to build up a stash of bananas and let them go bad before you get a chance to use them. Banana bread is a great way of using up old and ripe bananas, as the riper bananas will improve the flavor of your bread. Here’s a recipe for how to make it.

Ingredients:

  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas. Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract to the banana mixture, stirring until well combined. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, then gently mix.
  2. Gradually add the sugar and flour, folding the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. If desired, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
  3. Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a standard-sized loaf pan. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the oven for 60-65 minutes. Allow your banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

If you’re a baker looking for new ways to add a bit of color to your desserts, ube may be just the ingredient for you. Ube is a purple yam native to the Philippines, and it makes for a fun and delicious addition to a variety of baked goods thanks to its nutty sweetness and vibrant hue. In recent years, many popular food bloggers have found creative ways to incorporate ube into both classic and innovative new takes on favorite treats. From ice cream to pastries and more, read on for some of our favorite festive ube dessert recipes:

Ube Butter Mochi

The result is a show-stopping dessert with a delightfully chewy texture and an enticing purple hue.

Marbled Ube Mini Banana Bread Loaves

Give your banana bread new life with this picture-perfect recipe by Valeria from Nuts About Greens.

Butter is a staple ingredient in most baking recipes, especially cakes and muffins. But what happens if you run out of butter or you are a vegan—what alternatives can you use that will give your dish a great texture and delicious taste? There are actually plenty to try, and here are three of the best.

Oil

Coconut oil and olive oil are great butter alternatives when it comes to baking. They will give cakes a moist texture and you won’t need to take time to melt anything. The olive oil should be high quality, so it doesn’t overpower other flavors. And beware of coconut oil, and the taste of coconut tens to flavor the food slightly.

Applesauce

When cooking with applesauce, try to use the unsweetened variety. Use the same ratio 1:1 for butter to applesauce in a recipe and you won’t taste the difference.

Banana

Mashed bananas work just as well as butter—they’ll give your cake a denser texture and add some fruity flavor. Just convert the amount of butter to the number of mashed bananas equally and you will have yourself a delicious muffin.

Pumpkin bread and banana bread are both amazing in their own right, but things can get even better when you mix them into one. That’s exactly the idea behind pumpkin banana bread and these three useful tips will help you make yours as delicious as it gets.

Choosing Your Bananas

Buying the freshest bananas that you find at the grocery store won’t do your bread any good. Your bananas should be overripe so it’s a good idea to buy them a few days beforehand. They’ll be easier to mash this way, and they’ll do a great job moistening your bread.

What About Pumpkin?

Pumpkin is the second most crucial ingredient in this bread and different recipes call for different ways to add it to the mix. Buying fresh pumpkins and making puree on your own is always the best option, but you can buy canned pumpkin puree instead, and avoid pumpkin pie filling at all costs.

Avoid Over Browning

It’s not always easy to know when your bread is done, but using a toothpick to see if your bread is fully cooked is always a good idea. If your bread is brown on the outside, but not fully cooked on the inside, consider placing a piece of aluminum foil over the top so it wouldn’t burn.

There are many delicious desserts out there, from glorious trifles to simple fruit assortments. Baked concoctions are usually a fan favorite in most establishments, and one particularly popular dish is banana bread. Or is it banana cake?

That’s the question, isn’t it? Because for decades, this incredible dessert has confused many, with people constantly hearing both versions, and wondering whether or not there’s actually a difference between the two. But allow us to shed some light on the matter.

There Is a Difference, But It’s Very Subtle

Yes, there is certainly a difference between banana bread and banana cake, but let’s just say that most people would never even be able to detect it. It’s usually very subtle, but to keep things as simple as possible, we’ll start off by saying that banana cake is sweeter.

With banana bread, you get a more loafy texture, almost as if you’re eating—you guessed it—a loaf of bread. Only instead of a regular loaf, there’s a sweet, banana-like note to your experience.

Banana cake is usually baked in a round pan, and there’s more of a sticky texture and a lot more sweetness. Indeed, you don’t get that “bread-like” feeling, but instead more of a cake-style dessert.

Banana bread experienced a huge boom in the past few years and there’s only one downside to eating it. This baked treat tends to be pretty high in carbs, sugar, and fat, but you can make it a little bit better by making these three tiny, but significant changes.

Basic Ingredients

Despite being high in carbs, you should keep bananas in your bread because they come with many other redeeming qualities. White flour, on the other hand, is best replaced with healthier alternatives, such as almond and oat flour. You can also replace butter with refined oils, or go for applesauce if you want to avoid them both.

Natural Sweeteners

If your banana bread recipe calls for added sugar, try to reduce the amount you’re using or look for healthier alternatives. Honey, maple syrup, and dates are some of the popular natural sweeteners that you can use instead of sugar.

Additional Ingredients

Once you master the basic recipe, you’ll be tempted to start experimenting with your banana bread and add other ingredients to the mix. Chocolate banana bread is the most popular variety, and if you’re making it, try to replace chocolate chips with cacao. Also, consider opting for healthier add-ins, such as nuts, seeds, and fruits.

Banana bread is one of the first things that newbies learn to make at the beginning of their baking journey. This trendy dish is best eaten fresh, but if you can’t consume the whole loaf right away, here are the three best ways to store it for later.

Room Temperature

If you’re planning to eat your banana bread sooner rather than later, you can leave it at room temperature. It will stay fresh for about four days when stored on your kitchen counter, and you should consider putting it inside a plastic container with a closed lid to stop it from becoming soggy.

Refrigerator

One of the best ways to extend the shelf life of your banana bread for at least a week is to place it inside your fridge. Unfortunately, there’s a risk of your bread drying out too quickly when it’s stored this way so don’t forget to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap so it can keep its moisture.

Freezer

If you made so much banana bread that eating it within a week isn’t an option, you can freeze it for up to three months. Don’t forget to tightly wrap it with plastic wrap so it wouldn’t dry out. If freezing a whole loaf feels like too much, you can always cut your bread into individual slices.

Banana bread is one of the first things that newbies learn to make at the beginning of their baking journey. This trendy dish is best eaten fresh, but if you can’t consume the whole loaf right away, here are the three best ways to store it for later.

Room Temperature

If you’re planning to eat your banana bread sooner rather than later, you can leave it at room temperature. It will stay fresh for about four days when stored on your kitchen counter, and you should consider putting it inside a plastic container with a closed lid to stop it from becoming soggy.

Refrigerator

One of the best ways to extend the shelf life of your banana bread for at least a week is to place it inside your fridge. Unfortunately, there’s a risk of your bread drying out too quickly when it’s stored this way so don’t forget to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap so it can keep its moisture.

Freezer

If you made so much banana bread that eating it within a week isn’t an option, you can freeze it for up to three months. Don’t forget to tightly wrap it with plastic wrap so it wouldn’t dry out. If freezing a whole loaf feels like too much, you can always cut your bread into individual slices.
