The key to great banana bread is… RIPE bananas!!! If you use bananas that are hard & yellow or even worse green, they will contain too much starch and not enough natural sugars. As bananas ripen, they convert this starch into sugar. According to Wikipedia, “The greener, less ripe bananas contain higher levels of starch and, consequently, have a “starchier” taste. On the other hand, yellow bananas taste sweeter due to higher sugar concentrations”. FYI – You will know if a banana is ripe when it is soft and shows small brown & black spots on the yellow exterior of the banana.

Once you have mastered how to make this basicbread machine banana bread, you can experiment by adding other ingredients such as blueberries, cranberries, chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, etc. See the tips section below in order to learn how to make bread machine banana nut bread, bread machine chocolate chip banana bread & bread machine blueberry banana bread.

Food For Little Ones: {breadmaker} Super Easy Banana Cake

A ripe banana is soft and has a yellow exterior (peel) with small brown & black spots. Hard bananas that are unblemished yellow or green in color have not fully ripened yet. Unripe bananas will contain too much starch and not enough natural sugars. Ripe bananas are much sweeter than unripe bananas.

Homemade banana bread will last only 1 or 2 days on the counter (and it will spoil even faster in a hot & humid environment). After baking and when the banana bread is completely cooled, you can store it on the counter in a large resealable plastic bag or an airtight container. You can also place a paper towel around the bread in order to absorb any extra moisture.

For long-term storage, you should freeze the banana bread. It should be completely wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and then placed in a resealable plastic bag. Place the wrapped banana bread in the freezer and it should last for several months. FYI –Some people prefer to slice the banana bread first (and then wrap each slice) before freezing because it is easier to thaw out the desired number of slices versus dealing with an entire frozen banana bread loaf.

Luckily, our bread machine banana bread recipe is so delicious, it is likely to be completely eaten within a day. Storage problem solved!

Bread machine banana bread generally involves less work & steps than oven-baked banana bread. A bread machine will mix the ingredients for you and bake the banana bread for you in the same machine. In contrast, oven-baked banana bread involves more work & steps (i.e. you will need to mix the ingredients, pour them into a bread pan and move to an oven).

However, oven-baked banana breads are a little more forgiving as you can stir more gently if needed (and thus less crushed fruit or shattered chocolate chips). In addition, oven-baked banana breads will not have a bread machine mixing paddle “hole” in the bottom. For oven-baked banana bread recipes, please visit our Banana Bread Variations section.

I have lost my bread machine instructions. I am not sure if my bread machine has a sweet quick bread setting. What should I do?

If you have lost or misplaced your bread machine instructions, you should check online. Many bread machine manufacturers have placed their instruction manuals on their websites. Just do a search for your bread machine manufacturer and include the word “instructions” or “manual” (i.e. XYZ bread machine instructions). The online manufacturer instructions should tell you if your bread machine can handle sweet quick bread (i.e. banana bread) recipes.

Yes. Bread machine banana bread is a sweet quick bread. The term “quick bread” is often used to describe muffin-like desserts made with baking soda and/or baking powder. Quick breads are not sandwich-type breads that use yeast to rise. Other sweet quick bread recipes that use a bread machine include cornbread and pumpkin bread. For additional sweet quick bread recipes, please visit Bread Dad’s Sweet Quick Bread Recipes section.

Using a bread machine makes baking banana bread easier than ever. The bread machine helps make soft, delicious banana bread and allows it to stay perfectly moist throughout the process. It's also an excellent way to use up ripe bananas without turning on the oven, perfect when you want homemade banana bread in the heat of summer.

Using the bread machine makes for an almost completely hands-off process with very little mess: almost everything gets mixed right in the pan you bake it in. But it's important to remember that all bread machines are different, so follow the manufacturer's instructions for the model you own in order to ensure success. Also, make sure the bread machine is ready to go before you start mixing; once the wet and dry ingredients are combined in the pan, it needs to be mixed and baked right away. Many machines have a setting for quick bread; if not, you can use the machine's rapid bread program or manual settings. At the end of the cycle, use a toothpick to check the doneness of your bread and bake it a little longer if it's not done.

Gluten Free Banana Bread Recipe

You can swap the bread flour for all-purpose flour unless a recipe specifies otherwise. In this recipe, your bread may not have the same rise because bread flour has more gluten, but you can make the substitution and the recipe will still work.

Banana bread is a quick bread recipe, which means you don't add yeast. Instead, baking powder and baking soda are the leavening agents used to cause a faster rise than required for yeasted bread.

I don't like this at all. It's not the worst. Sure, this will do. I'm a fan—would recommend. Amazing! I love it! Thanks for your rating!
