Banana Bread Recipe 13 X 9

Anyone can make banana bread, and everyone should! It’s easy and delicious, and the “best-est” way to use bananas that become a little too . . . “mature.”

I am the queen of overbuying bananas. I purchase four planning to have one a day, but by the fourth day the remaining banana is just too ripe for me. Problem: what to do with just one over-ripe banana? Solution: freeze it! Just throw the unpeeled banana into the freezer.

Banana

First of all, I've tried LOTS of banana bread recipes in my time, and I honestly think this is the best banana bread in the world, no kidding.

And the crust? Definitely the star of the show. I don’t know if it’s the sour cream or what, but the delicate crust on the top of every loaf is

As I noted above, when my bananas get too ripe, I put them in the freezer, intact. When you thaw out a frozen banana, the fruit has essentially turned to a liquid.

From experience I found that it takes between two and three bananas to produce one cup of “puree”, so plan accordingly. It seems a little weird, but it actually eliminates the need to mash up perfectly good bananas.

Or needing to time the maturity of your bananas perfectly - it never lines up with when you have the time or are in the mood to make banana bread. This way, you are in control!

Everything else is straightforward. Just cream the butter and sugar together, add bananas and sour cream, then eggs. Mix the dry ingredients separately before adding to the banana mixture.

The pans should either be greased and floured first, or lined with parchment paper. I use the parchment paper option as you can see.

Put the batter into the pans. These are silicone pans in a 7x3 size, you can use whatever loaf pan(s) you prefer.

Bake the banana bread for about 50-55 minutes. Use the toothpick test - a toothpick inserted in the loaf should come out clean when done.

Once the bread is cooled, it becomes obvious why I like to use parchment paper. Not only is it cleaner, it’s much simpler for removing the loaf from the pan after cooking – just lift it out, tugging the paper! Easy peasy!

Because the batter is more spread out, it bakes a little more quickly. The baking time needed is about 40-50 minutes. Begin checking at 40 minutes to ensure you remove the bread from the oven once it is baked through.

I like this option as it is easier to serve in some settings, like if you are taking it to a potluck or cookout. You also get a little more delicious crust per piece, which is ALWAYS a good thing!

One Bowl Banana Bread {light & Fluffy!) By Life Is But A Dish

Do you have a particular “go-to” recipe for breakfast that the whole family loves? For us, it’s this super Easy Banana Bread.

A good 20+ years or so ago my mom gave me this recipe that she got from a friend. Remember the days when friends would pass along recipe cards? I know, forever ago.

Well, she passed it along to me, on the little 3×5 card. We have made that little recipe so much that the card is worn & tattered & I basically memorized the recipe.

I love this recipe so much, first because my mother gave it to me & that just warms my heart. But more so because it’s just so effortless.

Now that the kids are older I can let them whip this up on their own. I mean, my son has been known for purposely avoiding the bananas all week so they are good & ripe- basically forcing someone to make this recipe. I can’t blame him. It’s a great way to start the day.

The Best Vegan Banana Bread

Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. Just be sure to thaw them before using them. We do this all the time. If I’m in a time crunch, I will microwave the bag of bananas to thaw them quickly. Just toss the bananas and any liquid that is in the bag into the batter.

I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.

This will depend on how you cut the slices. Our family likes to do one cut down the middle – lengthwise and then 3 cuts on the short side. This gives us 8 slices.

I’m not really sure why we do it this way, because there are 5 of us & then once everyone has a piece, there is only enough for the kids to have some again the next day. Maybe they do this on purpose. But you can slice it however you like.

We love to double this recipe. I have never tried baking it in a larger pan than the 9×13. But you can double the ingredients in the mixer bowl and then separate between 2-9×13 pans and bake them side-by-side.

I usually bake this in my casserole dish that came with an airtight lid. Then I just put the lid on & leave it on the counter.
