Banana Bread Recipe for Bread Machine
A moist and flavorful banana bread made effortlessly in your bread machine.
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Mash the bananas in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add to Bread Machine: Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer (typically wet ingredients first, followed by dry ingredients).
- Select Settings: Choose the "Quick Bread" or "Cake" setting on your bread machine. If your bread machine doesn’t have these options, select the closest equivalent.
- Start the Machine: Press start and allow the bread machine to mix, knead, and bake the banana bread.
- Check Doneness: Once the baking cycle is complete, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the machine and let the bread cool for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure your bananas are overripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Avoid lifting the lid of the bread machine during the baking process to ensure even cooking.
