Banana Bread Recipe

October 10, 2011

Whenever we have ripe bananas in our house, we either freeze them for fruit drinks, or make them into this delicious banana bread.

This bread is good for breakfast (with some fruit) or on it’s own. I like to be bad and smother butter all over mine, but it’s also good without the butter.

I used chocolate chips for the recipe when I took this photo, but you can easily just omit those if you want. :)

    I use the same tip as Sara with my banana bread and definately see a difference. My recipie also calls for 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

    And I always, always used frozen bananas. When I shared this tip with people at work they looked at me funny, but then when they tried it themselves they noticed a difference in taste. Yummier! :) lol

    Thanks for the recipe. Bananas are on sale in my local grocery store for only 48c/lb. Thought to stock up, and now have a delicious looking recipe to go along with it

    Hi, just a tip that my mother always uses when she makes Banana Bread…let the batter set in the loaf pan(s) for 30 mins before putting in the oven. It will give it a chance to let the Baking Soda work and the end product will be a lighter, fluffier loaf.

    I love tupperware. It lasts a long time and it is durable. I have not had tupperware in a long time as I cannot afford it. Raising 4 kids I have a tight buget. I remember playng with the kids tupperware toys. They were great. Tupperware is a great way to organize a person cupboard. lk

    Hi there! I think that tupperware products are great because they help to save small portions of food, whether it be leftovers, or lunch on the go. They are also eco-friendly, as you don’t need to pack food in a container that is harmful for the environment. For children, it is a compact way for them to store foods, and seperate foods in various containers. Most importantly, tupperware has great colors!
