Pour the batter into a greased 9×9 square pan and sprinkle the top with brown sugar. Bake until golden brown and cooked through.
It’s important that you use overripe bananas for this recipe. The skin of the bananas should have brown speckles or even be turning dark brownish-black. This ensures that the bananas mash smoothly and are extra sweet.
I mash the bananas on a paper plate then fold the plate in half and slide the mashed banana into the measuring cup.

Instant Pot Banana Bread With Chocolate Chips
This past Christmas, I was delighted to be gifted with Joanna Gaines' cookbook, Magnolia Table. I had been eyeing it for a while and even checked it out of my local library, and was so excited to have a copy of my own. First of all, the photography is absolutely stunning, and reading Joanna's stories and notes about each recipe has been so enjoyable!
This cookbook was the first to be explored in the new Sweet Cayenne Cookbook Club. One of the fun challenges we have in the club is to modify a favorite recipe from the book to create a new, personalized version.
The goal of the recipe modification cookbook club challenge is to help make recipes better fit nutrition goals, dietary needs, or taste preferences. I chose the After School Banana Bread from the book to inspire my own recipe for a healthy, wholesome, banana bread that I could enjoy anytime!
Air Fryer Banana Nut Bread
Believe it or not, homemade banana bread can be good for you! Below are the modifications to Joanna's recipe that make this a healthy and moist banana bread recipe without sacrificing flavor:
Banana bread is typically loaded with fat in the form of oil and/or butter. It's also very high in sugar - most recipes call for 2-3 cups of sugar! But trust me, once you taste this healthy banana bread, you will not miss the extra calories!
You may be wondering: how ripe should a banana be for banana bread? Well, as ripe as possible! You want your bananas to be practically brown and almost black for the best banana flavor.
Moist Banana Bread Recipe
As bananas ripen, the starch inside turns to sugars. Using really ripe bananas in this bread allows us to reduce the amount of added sugar needed.
However, with my caramelization method below, it is possible to use fresh bananas (like yellow ones) and still get a good banana flavor from this banana bread recipe. I can't wait for you to try it!
. These are two critical steps for developing a deep and intense flavor in banana bread. These techniques also help concentrate flavor in recipes where the sugar and fat have been reduced.
The Most Delicious Banana Bread Recipe
I love that Joanna's original recipe called for the banana bread to be baked in a square pan. I will never go back to a bread pan again - the square pan creates so much more of that delicious crust!

Loaded Vegan Banana Bread: Perfect Breakfast Or Snack
I have tried so many recipes for using up over-ripe bananas, and thisBanana Bread Snack Cake is hands-down one of my absolute favorites!
The secret to this “banana bread” is that it’s baked in a 9-inch square pan, and sprinkled with sugar before baking, which gives it that amazing, crunchy topping you see.
Whenever I have ripe bananas, I look for a new banana bread recipe to try. I finally found my favorite! This is, without a doubt, the BEST banana bread/cake recipe I have ever baked! The sugar topping is an unbelievable surprise! This is now my go to banana recipe! ~ Barb
Easy Banana Bread Recipe
Which, if you ask me, kind of transforms it from bread to cake. But the kind of cake that it’s okay to eat for breakfast, or a late-night snack, if you know what I mean.
Seriously though, that sugar topping! I don’t know where that’s been all my life, but I’ll be sprinkling sugar on every banana flavored bread or cake I make from here on out.
To say my family loved this would be a huge understatement. If I would have had enough bananas, I would have gladly doubled the recipe. This stuff disappeared within in a day.
Butter Pecan Banana Bread
And as soon as it was gone, I wanted to make it again. Alas, it really does need to be made with very ripe bananas, so I had to wait several days for my newly purchased bananas to ripen.
I don’t know why something as simple as changing the type of pan can transform the whole banana bread experience, but it does. Although I’m sure you could still bake this in a loaf pan and it would be delicious.
No matter what kind of pan you bake this banana bread in, the sugar topping is an absolute must! I hope you love this simple (yet utterly amazing) banana treat as much as we did.
