Favorite Banana Bread

Image of Banana Bread

A favorite banana bread made with ripe bananas, butter, sugar, eggs, and nuts. Serve this quick bread with butter or cream cheese spread for breakfast, brunch, a mid-day snack, or dessert.

This banana bread recipe has a light, delicate crumb and has quite a bit of banana flavor because you use 3 large bananas in the recipe. The chopped nuts are optional, but do add a nice amount of flavor to the bread.

It tastes good either warmed up or served cold. It is a family favorite in our house and this recipe gets made quite frequently.

Fresh dairy butter makes a great spread or just eat it plain. This recipe for cream cheese spread makes a tasty topping as well. Fresh fruit also serves as a nice complement to a quick bread for a brunch menu. Find more dessert bread recipes like this favorite banana bread.

**To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf 5 minutes before baking time is over. When the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done. You can also visually check if the bread is done by looking for a nice medium brown color and also checking that the bread has pulled away from the edges of the baking pan.
