Healthy Hummingbird Banana Bread With Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

I just returned from Paris, Land of Bakeries, and spent 10 days being swooned by every baked good under the sun. Macaron shops as far as the eye can see. Beautiful, towering cakes lining shop windows. Croissants – so. many. croissants. Eclairs. Parfaits. Kouign Amann, which is freaking fantastic and pronounced “queen a-mahn” if you didn’t know. I mean, shoot, even the Parisian McDonald’s had freaking macarons! At my local McDonald’s, I can’t even get the 18 year old working behind the counter to fix the McFlurry machine.

All I’m asking for is for someone to open up a bakery (don’t you dare say me!) in my county and have it serve fantastic cakes, tiramisu, pies, and all the like. And again, please don’t suggest 

Do it. I’ve worked in a bakery before and there is no way in actual hell, heaven, Earth, or in the universe I would EVER open one. Waking up at 1am to bake breads and cupcakes is not my idea of a good time. It’s also not very fun when you run out of red velvet cupcakes on Valentine’s Day at 6pm, minutes before closing, and some idiot man screams at you because he waited until the very last second to get his girlfriend cupcakes. (Also, red velvet cupcakes are not even

, much less worth screaming over, but please, regale me again with the tale of how I ruined Valentine’s Day because you’re a procrastinating thoughtless oaf).

ANYWAY. What I’m trying to say is there’s a real lack of good cakes around here, and I don’t think the average Californian has heard of hummingbird cake which is a crying shame. If you didn’t know, hummingbird cakes actually hail from Jamaica, where they’re often called “Doctor Bird” cake. It’s essentially a very moist cake made with bananas, pineapples, pecans and coconut and topped with a cream cheese icing. Talk about DELICIOUS, right?

Well, since I’m determined to Make Californians Hummingbird Cake Eaters (official campaign slogan TBA) I decided to make this Hummingbird Banana Bread and boy, was it a fantastic decision.

Chock-full of bananas, pineapple, pecans and toasted coconut for a supremely moist and flavorful bread that tastes like a classic Hummingbird cake!This is the Hummingbird Bakery’s banana bread recipe!

Hummingbird Bread Loaded With Bananas, Pineapple, Coconut And Pecans: Recipe

Although The Hummingbird Bakery, a famed British bakery, is primarily known for its cupcakes, it also has a solid banana bread recipe! The Hummingbird Bakery’s banana bread recipe is soft, moist, and flavored with ground cinnamon and ginger. The recipe comes together quickly, thanks to its use of melted butter and mashed bananas. The best part? There’s no need to use a stand mixer for this recipe, folks!

The Hummingbird Bakery is a famous bakery in London, England. The bakery introduced many classic American flavors like hummingbird (banana, pineapple and spices) and red velvet to the United Kingdom. Although the Hummingbird Bakery is primarily known for its cupcakes, the bakery also offers other treats like this banana bread.

! I started this blog in 2011 to record my efforts to bake through the Hummingbird Bakery’s first cookbook. Although I now develop many of my own recipes, I am still very much indebted to the Hummingbird Bakery. I learned many crucial baking lessons from the bakery’s recipes! You can learn more about this journey in my About page.

This banana bread recipe is one of the fastest banana bread recipes on my blog! Why? Most banana bread recipes instruct you to cream butter and sugar for 3 to 5 minutes. However, this banana bread recipe uses melted butter. As a result, you can avoid a stand mixer completely. In fact, to make this recipe, all you need are two bowls and a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon. That’s it! The batter only takes about 5 minutes to come together.

Like most loaf cakes, the Hummingbird Bakery banana bread stays fresh and moist for days. In fact, the banana bread actually becomes more flavorful overnight! The ground cinnamon and ginger becomes more pronounced, giving the banana bread bright, tropical taste.

I’m sorry, but I don’t know. I rarely bake with those types of flour replacements because they’re expensive and my household is fortunate not to have any gluten restrictions. However, if you replace the flour in this recipe with any gluten-free alternatives, please leave a comment so I can update this post accordingly!

Hummingbird Banana Bread With Toasted Coconut

Brown sugar is granulated white sugar with a touch of molasses to give it its signature color and flavor. Because brown sugar contains molasses, it adds more moisture baked goods than granulated sugar otherwise would. Brown sugar is available in two varieties: light or dark. Dark brown sugar is my personal preference. Because it contains more molasses, I find it to be more flavorful. However, you can use either in the Hummingbird Bakery’s banana bread recipe without altering its flavor too much.

Sadly, no. Hummingbird Bakery banana bread is partially leavened by baking soda. What does that mean, exactly? Leaveners are the ingredients in baking recipes that responsible for making the baked goods rise. They do so by reacting with other ingredients to create bubbles in batters and doughs. The reaction is usually activated when an acidic ingredient is mixed an alkaline ingredient, and/or the heat from the oven.

In the Hummingbird Bakery banana bread recipe, the baking soda reacts with brown sugar (which is slightly acidic, thanks to the molasses in it) to give the bread its signature, fluffy texture. Unfortunately, coconut sugar does not have this same acidic quality and has a neutral pH level similar to that of granulated white
