    Easy to make moist delicious banana bread is one of the best snacks to bake if you have some good overripe banana. This is one of the tried, tested, and best recipes of mine.

    Banana Bread Recipe | How to make banana bread with Step by step photos. Banana bread is a type of bread that is made with mashed banana. This recipe calls for buttermilk, which makes the banana bread super soft and gives a soft porous texture. Traditional bread recipe calls for Yeast.

    However, in this recipe, I am not using yeast. This is the first bake which I did for this New Year and everyone at home loved this Banana Bread. The banana used in this recipe calls for the over-ripe ones. Hence this is a brilliant way how to use an overripe Banana.

    In this banana bread, I have not added any nuts, But any nuts of your choice could be added or chocolate chips can be added to make the bread even more rich and tasty.

    Ingredients for Banana Cake:

    Banana – Always use overripe bananas for the banana bread. Banana not only helps in the sweetness but also in the texture of the bread.

    Flour – We may use half and half wheat and maida or fully maida as you prefer.

    Butter Milk – Buttermilk helps in the soft and porous texture of the banana bread.

    Baking soda – Baking soda helps in the texture of the bread. And hence don’t skip it.

    Oil – Oil is the main wet ingredient and hence we can use any flavorless oil. I am using coconut oil for the bread.

    Eggs - Eggs again are for the airy and light bread.

    Sugar - I am using both White Sugar and Brown Sugar combinations. You may use either one or as you prefer. Brown sugar gives a beautiful golden color to the brand and I recommend adding it.

    1.In a large bowl add in the ripe banana and mash well without any lumps and set them aside.
