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.

A One Pan Banana Loaf Recipe For Your Bread Maker

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.

Super

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.

I don’t have that problem of the bread being too dense with using this recipe. One of the culprits can be not putting the ingredients in order, or it may be that you have too much moisture.

The traditional way of doing it is with a cake tester or the touch method to see if it springs back, but that is pretty hard in a bread machine.

One way you can tell is if the top still looks underdone. To fix that, just leave the bread in the machine with the heat that is already there for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. This should finish the baking process for you.
