I pretty much have the Better Homes and Gardens Quick Banana Bread recipe memorized. It is my go-to for banana bread and always gets rave reviews when I make it. This time, when I started to work on it (at my daughter, Hazel’s, request), I had forgotten that I was missing one tiny ingredient: the baking soda.
It was a rainy day here and not too warm. The perfect day for staying inside to bake some delicious banana bread.

As I mentioned, I had already mixed together the bananas and eggs. I had three super ripe bananas and mixed them with two eggs. I softened a stick of unsalted butter and combined that with the vanilla extract. I also added one cup of sugar to this bowl because that stuck with the BH&G method.
Recipe has quite a few dry ingredients that I normally mix together into a large bowl. This recipe just had flour so into the bowl it went.

Simple Banana Bread Without Baking Soda
And that is it. It was ready for the oven. I was very eager to see how it would turn out with a different recipe than I was used to.
We had awhile to wait to test out this new bread recipe, but someone was very anxious for it to be done.
As soon as I cut into the bread, I could tell it was very dense. The baking soda is what gives it the fluffiness that we are used to with my go-to recipe.

I was a little worried that it might not taste very good (and heaven forbid I just wasted all that time and ingredients on a throw away loaf). But, I quickly discovered I needn’t worry. It tasted great (different mind you, but still very tasty and delicious).
While I will be sticking to the BH&G recipe for banana bread most of the time, I now have a quick go-to recipe if I am without baking soda (I normally never am, but I forgot to put it on the list last time we went shopping!).
I do love the fact that in this day and age you can find a substitute for almost anything or a quick altered version of a recipe if you are missing an ingredient. It definitely makes cooking and baking easier!

In a large mixing bowl add flour and make a well in the center. Fold in banana mixture and stir until combined. Will still be lumpy.
Grease a 9×5″ loaf pan with butter and pour in batter. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. (I checked it around 50 minutes but it needed the extra ten minutes).
Allow it to cool and enjoy! And remember, this is a very dense bread without baking soda, but we still enjoyed every bite 🙂

Absolutely! Baking soda is a leavening agent. It usually reacts with something else in the bread to help the bread to rise.
Ridiculously Easy Banana Bread
And in other cases, you just don’t like the taste! Baking soda can be a very strong flavor for people who are sensitive to it.
I’ve made delicious Banana Bread Recipes or Cinnamon Streusel Banana Bread before but I’m very excited to finally have a banana bread without baking soda recipe up on the website!
No, there is no baking soda in self rising flour. That would defeat the purpose of making a banana bread recipe without baking soda!
Super Simple Banana Bread
Baking powder does not require another agent to help it rise like baking soda does. So it is easier to toss into recipes.
Banana bread is a moist bread so it can go bad fairly quickly on your counter. Be sure to keep it covered in an airtight container or bag to help prolong its shelf life.
You can expect the banana bread to last up to 3 days on the counter. If you keep it in the fridge, banana bread will stay good for up to 5 days.

I love sneaking in extra fruits or vegetables into my bread recipes!It’s a good way to use them up, get the kids to eat them, and they’re just so good!
This loaf of banana bread does call for a fair amount of sugar though so it is probably more a dessert bread.
Often, when making a regular bread loaf, you will find the bread needs to rise for an hour or even much longer before ever going in the oven.
Simply Perfect 2 Banana Banana Bread
Enjoy this delicious Banana Bread Recipe without Baking Soda! It’s quick, yummy, easy, and the perfect bread to slice up and devour!Most quick breads and loaf cakes depend on baking soda to rise, but here's a recipe for banana bread without baking soda, that relies on baking powder.
Old-school banana bread recipes are usually made with baking soda only and without baking powder. I gather that there was a time when baking powder wasn't as readily available, but also that the consistency of baking powder sold in grocery stores varied. Baking powder wasn't the reliable chemical leavener it is today.
Remember that baking soda is sodium bicarbonate and requires acidic ingredients to react to form carbon dioxide. The acidity in banana bread could come from the mashed bananas, which have a pH that is between 4 and 5.
Vegan Banana Bread (easy + Healthy)
Baking powder is made from sodium bicarbonate, acid(s), and a drying agent (or anti-caking agent) like cornstarch. It's a complete leavening agent and all you have to do is wet it and apply a little heat to make it react.
This eggless banana bread is made with baking soda only, as is this healthier pumpkin bread. And when I was working on this pumpkin bread, I found that I had no choice but to use both baking powder and baking soda, though I tried really hard to eliminate the baking soda. The pumpkin loaf cake required both leavening agents to rise properly and achieve the perfect texture.
I find baking soda, especially in some loaf cake recipes and quick breads, can provide too much flavour. While some tasters don't notice it, I find I'm particularly sensitive to it, and the flavour in some instances can verge on soapy.
Moist Banana Bread With Sour Cream
Though in some recipes, it's inevitable, I prefer the taste of banana bread without baking soda, which has a milder more buttery flavour and a lighter, golden brown colour with a pale yellow crumb inside. Baking powder is a good substitute for baking soda in banana bread. A good rule of thumb is to use at least 5 mL (1 teaspoon) of baking powder for every cup of flour.
And though I couldn't get the pumpkin bread to work without baking soda, I am happy to report that banana bread without baking soda does work beautifully, with the recipe below.

Eggless Banana Bread
If your loaf cake is dense, it could be that your ratio of wet ingredients to dry ingredients was off. Did you measure the bananas before adding them to the batter? Often people add too much banana, leading to a dense banana bread.
You may need to add more leavening agent if you want to try to add more banana to this recipe, but I don't recommend adding more than 375 mL (1.5 cups) of mashed banana with this recipe.
Make sure to check if your cake is done with a cake tester and a thermometer (internal temperature around 212 ºF or 100 ºC when baked). If there's a gummy layer at the bottom of the banana bread, it could
