Packed with bananas, cinnamon and brown sugar makes it irresistibly moist! It could not be any easier using ingredients you already have in your kitchen pantry! Enjoy a slice of Banana bread for breakfast with a warm mug of hot cocoa.

HOW TO MAKE BANANA BREAD In this recipe, we use 2 different kinds of sugar to yield the best results: brown sugar and white sugar. The brown sugar makes for a soft banana bread that you will no doubt fall in love with. FOLD in half of the chocolate chips or nuts. It’s fine if there is a few lumps. The batter should be thick and lumpy once all of the ingredients are mixed through. You may be tempted to add more liquid, but you won’t need it.

Do not be tempted to over mix! Use a pale coloured loaf pan — light grey or white is ideal. Dark or black loaf pans are known to darken the bottom of cakes or loaves. Line your loaf pan with parchment paper.

Leave a 3 inch overhang to make it easy to pull and lift the banana bread out of the pan. Place your loaf onto a cooling rack to let cool, or enjoy a slice fresh out of the oven! NUTS OR CHOCOLATE CHIPS My children can’t stand nuts so we add in semi-sweet chocolate chips to our banana bread, but you can add in the following to make it your own! You can also add a cinnamon sugar coating on top of your loaf and leave out the chocolate chips or nuts if you wish. The result is a crunchy, flavourful top with a decadent bakery-style finish. Spices We love cinnamon in this but you could also add nutmeg or all spice.
