Soft, moist, and intensely banana-flavored, this is exactly what good banana bread should be. This recipe is perfect as a quick dessert with coffee, a sweet breakfast, or an on-the-go snack. The use of pureed banana gives the cake an even consistency and a distinct banana flavor without the need to mash the fruit with a fork.

Banana bread – ingredients

320-340 ml banana puree
2 eggs
100 g of sugar
100 g melted butter
200 g wheat flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
a pinch of salt
optional: 1 teaspoon cinnamon or vanilla extract

Optional decoration

melted dark or dark chocolate
1-2 tablespoons of milk or cream
chopped walnuts or almonds

Banana bread recipe

Pour the mashed banana into a large bowl. Add the eggs, sugar, and melted butter. Let the mixture cool slightly before mixing to prevent the eggs from curdling. Mix thoroughly with a whisk or spatula.

Next, add the flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. If you prefer a more spicy flavor, you can also add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla. Mix everything briefly, just until combined. This is important because over-mixing can make the bread heavier and less fluffy.

Pour the prepared mixture into a cake tin lined with baking paper.

Banana bread – how long to bake?

Preheat the oven to 175-180°C (350-390°F). Bake the bread for about 50-60 minutes.

Towards the end of baking, check the center with a skewer. If it comes out dry or slightly moist, the banana bread is ready. After baking, set it aside to cool for a few minutes.

Chocolate icing and toppings

If you'd like a more dessert-like version, you can drizzle the bread with melted chocolate. Dark or dark chocolate works best.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or heat it very gently in a saucepan. Adding 1-2 tablespoons of milk or cream will make the icing glossier and softer.

Pour the glaze over the bread only after it has cooled slightly. Finally, sprinkle with chopped walnuts or almonds.

Banana bread – an everyday recipe
