A hint of spice, honey for sweetness and moist texture, and one final touch—a few spoonfuls of jam—distinguish this tasty bread from run-of-the-mill versions.\nPrep\n20 mins\nBake\n1 hr 10 mins\nTotal\n1 hr 30 mins\nYield\n1 loaf\nInstructions\nBake Mode\nPrevent your screen from going dark as you follow along.\nPreheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9\" x 5\" loaf pan; or a 12\" x 4\"\ntea loaf pan\n.\nIn a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, beating until smooth.\nAdd the mashed bananas, jam, honey, and eggs, again beating until smooth.\nAdd the flour, then the walnuts, stirring just until smooth.\nSpoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.\nBake the bread for 45 minutes, then gently lay a piece of aluminum foil across the top, to prevent over-browning.\nBake for an additional 25 minutes (20 minutes if you're baking in a tea loaf pan). Remove the bread from the oven; a long toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center should come out clean, with a few wet crumbs clinging to it. The tester shouldn't show any sign of uncooked batter. If it does, bake the bread an additional 5 minutes, or until it tests done.\nAllow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove it from the pan, and cool it completely on a rack.\nTips from our Bakers\nWant to make this recipe gluten-free?\nFor great results, substitute\nKing Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour\nfor the all-purpose flour in this recipe. Be sure to bake thoroughly; gluten-free baked goods often need a bit more time in the oven.\nBe sure to use ripe bananas; their peels should be bright yellow, with no green showing at all, and beginning to turn brown. For more pronounced banana flavor, use extra-ripe bananas, ones whose peels are mostly black-brown.\nAn easy way to mash bananas is to peel, cut into chunks, and place in a zip-top plastic bag, leaving about 1\/4\" open at the top of the bag for air to escape. Gently knead\/flatten\/squash the banana chunks with your fingers.\nTo make banana bread French toast: Cut your several-day-old loaf into 3\/4\"-thick slices. Dip the slices into\nyour favorite French toast batter\n, and cook in a skillet or on a griddle. For added crunch, crush 2 to 3 cups of cornflakes in a wide shallow dish, and dip both sides of your battered banana bread slices into the flakes before cooking.\nFor a reduced-sugar version of this bread, cut the brown sugar in half, to 1\/3 cup. For an even greater reduction, use just 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Each version will retain its moist texture, and taste fine — simply less sweet, more banana-y.\nBaker’s Resources\nRecipe success guide\nBaking guides\nHigh-altitude baking\nBaker’s yeast\nIngredient weight chart\nTools & pans\nHow to measure flour\nSafe handling instructions\nShop\nRecommended for you\n4.8 out of 5 stars\nout of 5 stars\n1596 Reviews\nReviews\nKing Arthur Pure Vanilla Extract - 16 oz\n$84.95\n4.9 out of 5 stars\nout of 5 stars\n3082 Reviews\nReviews\nVietnamese Cinnamon\n$8.95\n4.9 out of 5 stars\nout of 5 stars\n3509 Reviews\nReviews\nAll-Purpose Flour\n$6.95\n4.9 out of 5 stars\nout of 5 stars\n6287 Reviews\nReviews\nHalf-Sheet Baking Parchment Paper - 50 pack\n$19.95\nBased on 417 reviews\nSearch reviews\nSearch reviews\nRating\nAll ratings\nSort by\n:\nHighest rating\nKrista S.\nVerified Reviewer\nBest Banana Bread!\nReally delicious.

A hint of spice, honey for sweetness and moist texture, and one final touch—a few spoonfuls of jam—distinguish this tasty bread from run-of-the-mill versions.\n\nPrep\n\n20 mins\n\nBake\n\n1 hr 10 mins\n\nTotal\n\n1 hr 30 mins\n\nYield\n\n1 loaf\n\nSave Recipe\n\nPrint\n\nShare\n\nShare\n\n- [Share on Facebook](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/recipes\/banana-bread-recipe)\n- [Share by Email](mailto:?subject=Banana%20Bread%20Recipe%20%7C%20King%20Arthur%20Baking&body=Banana%20Bread%20Recipe%20%7C%20King%20Arthur%20Baking%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.kingarthurbaking.com%2Frecipes%2Fbanana-bread-recipe)\n- [Share on Pinterest](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/recipes\/banana-bread-recipe)\n- [Share on Linkedin](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/recipes\/banana-bread-recipe)\n- [Share on Threads](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/recipes\/banana-bread-recipe)\n\n![Banana Bread](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/featured_image_sm\/public\/recipe_legacy\/5-3-large.jpg?itok=z5mFsNZU)\n\n[![Our Best Products](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/themes\/custom\/kaf_nextgenweb\/images\/shop-ad-desktop.jpg)](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/half-sheet-baking-parchment-paper)\n\nShare\n\n- [Share on Facebook](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/recipes\/banana-bread-recipe)\n- [Share by Email](mailto:?subject=Banana%20Bread%20Recipe%20%7C%20King%20Arthur%20Baking&body=Banana%20Bread%20Recipe%20%7C%20King%20Arthur%20Baking%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.kingarthurbaking.com%2Frecipes%2Fbanana-bread-recipe)\n- [Share on Pinterest](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/recipes\/banana-bread-recipe)\n- [Share on Linkedin](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/recipes\/banana-bread-recipe)\n- [Share on Threads](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/recipes\/banana-bread-recipe)\n\n[Shop this Recipe](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/king-arthur-pure-vanilla-extract)\n\n## Ingredients\n\n- 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter, at cool room temperature\n- 2\/3 cup (142g) light brown sugar or dark brown sugar, packed\n- 1 teaspoon [King Arthur Pure Vanilla Extract](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/king-arthur-pure-vanilla-extract)\n- 1 teaspoon [ground cinnamon](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/vietnamese-cinnamon)\n- 1\/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg\n- 1 teaspoon baking soda\n- 1 teaspoon baking powder\n- 1 teaspoon table salt\n- 1 1\/2 cups (340g) bananas, mashed\n- 3 tablespoons (64g) apricot jam or orange marmalade, optional but tasty\n- 1\/4 cup (85g) honey\n- 2 large eggs\n- 2 1\/4 cups (270g) [King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/unbleached-all-purpose-flour)\n- 1\/2 cup (57g) chopped walnuts, optional\n\n[Nutrition Information](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/nutritional-info\/18156)\n\n[![Bake your best loaves with confidence - Get the big book of bread](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-02\/Big%20Book%20of%20Bread%20Ad.jpg)](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/king-arthur-baking-companys-big-book-of-bread)\n\n## Instructions\nBake Mode\n\nPrevent your screen from going dark as you follow along.\n\n1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9\" x 5\" loaf pan; or a 12\" x 4\" [tea loaf pan](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/tea-loaf-pan).\n2. In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, beating until smooth.\n3. Add the mashed bananas, jam, honey, and eggs, again beating until smooth.\n4. Add the flour, then the walnuts, stirring just until smooth.\n   #### Learn more\n   [![Banana Bread](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/kaf_thumbnail_small_200x135_\/public\/recipe_legacy\/5-3-large.jpg?itok=lyG2Lg66)](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/blog\/2008\/04\/21\/ima-fanna-banana-bread)\n   \n   Blog\n   \n   ##### [Banana Bread, an ultimate classic](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/blog\/2008\/04\/21\/ima-fanna-banana-bread)\n   By PJ Hamel\n5. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.\n6. Bake the bread for 45 minutes, then gently lay a piece of aluminum foil across the top, to prevent over-browning.\n7. Bake for an additional 25 minutes (20 minutes if you're baking in a tea loaf pan). Remove the bread from the oven; a long toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center should come out clean, with a few wet crumbs clinging to it. The tester shouldn't show any sign of uncooked batter. If it does, bake the bread an additional 5 minutes, or until it tests done.\n8. Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove it from the pan, and cool it completely on a rack.\n\n## Tips from our Bakers\n- **Want to make this recipe gluten-free?** For great results, substitute [King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/gluten-free-measure-for-measure-flour) for the all-purpose flour in this recipe. Be sure to bake thoroughly; gluten-free baked goods often need a bit more time in the oven.\n- Be sure to use ripe bananas; their peels should be bright yellow, with no green showing at all, and beginning to turn brown. For more pronounced banana flavor, use extra-ripe bananas, ones whose peels are mostly black-brown.\n- An easy way to mash bananas is to peel, cut into chunks, and place in a zip-top plastic bag, leaving about 1\/4\" open at the top of the bag for air to escape. Gently knead\/flatten\/squash the banana chunks with your fingers.\n- To make banana bread French toast: Cut your several-day-old loaf into 3\/4\"-thick slices. Dip the slices into [your favorite French toast batter](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/recipes\/french-toast-recipe), and cook in a skillet or on a griddle. For added crunch, crush 2 to 3 cups of cornflakes in a wide shallow dish, and dip both sides of your battered banana bread slices into the flakes before cooking.\n- For a reduced-sugar version of this bread, cut the brown sugar in half, to 1\/3 cup. For an even greater reduction, use just 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Each version will retain its moist texture, and taste fine — simply less sweet, more banana-y.\n\n## Baker’s Resources\n- [Recipe success guide](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/guides\/recipe-success-guide)\n- [Baking guides](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/learn)\n- [High-altitude baking](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/learn\/resources\/high-altitude-baking)\n- [Baker’s yeast](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/blog\/2023\/05\/10\/guide-to-baking-with-yeast)\n- [Ingredient weight chart](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/learn\/ingredient-weight-chart)\n- [Tools & pans](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/blog\/2023\/06\/05\/your-complete-guide-to-baking-pans)\n- [How to measure flour](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/videos\/baking-skills\/how-to-measure-flour)\n- [Safe handling instructions](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/policies\/flour-safety)\n\n![Baker’s Hotline](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/themes\/custom\/kaf_nextgenweb\/images\/bakers-hotline.png)\n\n[Chat with a baker](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/launchchat)\n\nShop\n\n### Recommended for you\n[![](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/square_medium_550_x_550\/public\/product-image\/VanillaGroup__16198.1762195094.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=7rmbaFVd) 4.8 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 1596 Reviews Reviews King Arthur Pure Vanilla Extract - 16 oz \\$84.95](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/king-arthur-pure-vanilla-extract)\n\n[![](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/square_medium_550_x_550\/public\/product-image\/vietnamese-cinnamon-3-oz-1__22282_864__74787.1724079443.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=KFFg15KK) 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 3082 Reviews Reviews Vietnamese Cinnamon \\$8.95](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/vietnamese-cinnamon)\n\n[![](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/square_medium_550_x_550\/public\/product-image\/king-arthur-unbleached-all-purpose-flour-5-lb-1__96453__68278__72623.1724079457.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=NQ7_faUZ) 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 3509 Reviews Reviews All-Purpose Flour \\$6.95](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/unbleached-all-purpose-flour)\n\n[![](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/square_medium_550_x_550\/public\/product-image\/100656_ParchmentC20-4__52409.1735844725.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=0X65hpxq) 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 6287 Reviews Reviews Half-Sheet Baking Parchment Paper - 50 pack \\$19.95](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/half-sheet-baking-parchment-paper)\n\nReviews\n\nQ\\&A\n\n4\\.6\n\nBased on 417 reviews\n\n- 5\n  \n  327\n- 4\n  \n  45\n- 3\n  \n  23\n- 2\n  \n  11\n- 1\n  \n  11\n\nWrite A Review\n\nSearch reviews\n\nSearch reviews\n\nRating\n\nRatingAll ratings\n\nAll ratings\n\n5 stars\n\n4 stars\n\n3 stars\n\n2 stars\n\n1 star\n\nWith media\n\nSort by\n\nSort by:Highest rating\n\nHighest rating\n\nLowest rating\n\nMost recent\n\nWith media\n\nVerified purchase\n\n- KS\n  \n  Krista S.\n  \n  Verified Reviewer\n  \n  **Best Banana Bread\\!**\n  \n  Really delicious.

[Quick Bread](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/recipes\/quick-bread)\n\nRecipe by [PJ Hamel](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/author\/pj-hamel)\n\n[417 Reviews 4\\.6 out of 5 stars](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/recipes\/banana-bread-recipe#review-section)\n\nBanana bread is oh-so-simple... yet like many simple recipes, requires a few out of the ordinary ingredients to bring it from potentially boring to memorable. A hint of spice, honey for sweetness and moist texture, and one final touch—a few spoonfuls of jam—distinguish this tasty bread from run-of-the-mill versions.\n\nPrep\n\n20 mins\n\nBake\n\n1 hr 10 mins\n\nTotal\n\n1 hr 30 mins\n\nYield\n\n1 loaf\n\n![Banana Bread](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/featured_image_sm\/public\/recipe_legacy\/5-3-large.jpg?itok=z5mFsNZU)\n\n[![Our Best Products](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/themes\/custom\/kaf_nextgenweb\/images\/shop-ad-desktop.jpg)](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/half-sheet-baking-parchment-paper)\n\n## Instructions\nBake Mode\n\nPrevent your screen from going dark as you follow along.\n\n1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9\" x 5\" loaf pan; or a 12\" x 4\" [tea loaf pan](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/tea-loaf-pan).\n2. In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, beating until smooth.\n3. Add the mashed bananas, jam, honey, and eggs, again beating until smooth.\n4. Add the flour, then the walnuts, stirring just until smooth.\n5. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.\n6. Bake the bread for 45 minutes, then gently lay a piece of aluminum foil across the top, to prevent over-browning.\n7. Bake for an additional 25 minutes (20 minutes if you're baking in a tea loaf pan). Remove the bread from the oven; a long toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center should come out clean, with a few wet crumbs clinging to it. The tester shouldn't show any sign of uncooked batter. If it does, bake the bread an additional 5 minutes, or until it tests done.\n8. Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove it from the pan, and cool it completely on a rack.\n\n## Tips from our Bakers\n- **Want to make this recipe gluten-free?** For great results, substitute [King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/gluten-free-measure-for-measure-flour) for the all-purpose flour in this recipe. Be sure to bake thoroughly; gluten-free baked goods often need a bit more time in the oven.\n- Be sure to use ripe bananas; their peels should be bright yellow, with no green showing at all, and beginning to turn brown. For more pronounced banana flavor, use extra-ripe bananas, ones whose peels are mostly black-brown.\n- An easy way to mash bananas is to peel, cut into chunks, and place in a zip-top plastic bag, leaving about 1\/4\" open at the top of the bag for air to escape. Gently knead\/flatten\/squash the banana chunks with your fingers.\n- To make banana bread French toast: Cut your several-day-old loaf into 3\/4\"-thick slices. Dip the slices into [your favorite French toast batter](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/recipes\/french-toast-recipe), and cook in a skillet or on a griddle. For added crunch, crush 2 to 3 cups of cornflakes in a wide shallow dish, and dip both sides of your battered banana bread slices into the flakes before cooking.\n- For a reduced-sugar version of this bread, cut the brown sugar in half, to 1\/3 cup. For an even greater reduction, use just 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Each version will retain its moist texture, and taste fine — simply less sweet, more banana-y.\n\n## Baker’s Resources\n- [Recipe success guide](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/guides\/recipe-success-guide)\n- [Baking guides](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/learn)\n- [High-altitude baking](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/learn\/resources\/high-altitude-baking)\n- [Baker’s yeast](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/blog\/2023\/05\/10\/guide-to-baking-with-yeast)\n- [Ingredient weight chart](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/learn\/ingredient-weight-chart)\n- [Tools & pans](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/blog\/2023\/06\/05\/your-complete-guide-to-baking-pans)\n- [How to measure flour](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/videos\/baking-skills\/how-to-measure-flour)\n- [Safe handling instructions](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/policies\/flour-safety)\n\nShop\n\n### Recommended for you\n[![](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/square_medium_550_x_550\/public\/product-image\/VanillaGroup__16198.1762195094.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=7rmbaFVd) 4.8 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 1596 Reviews Reviews King Arthur Pure Vanilla Extract - 16 oz \\$84.95](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/king-arthur-pure-vanilla-extract)\n\n[![](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/square_medium_550_x_550\/public\/product-image\/vietnamese-cinnamon-3-oz-1__22282_864__74787.1724079443.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=KFFg15KK) 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 3082 Reviews Reviews Vietnamese Cinnamon \\$8.95](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/vietnamese-cinnamon)\n\n[![](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/square_medium_550_x_550\/public\/product-image\/king-arthur-unbleached-all-purpose-flour-5-lb-1__96453__68278__72623.1724079457.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=NQ7_faUZ) 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 3509 Reviews Reviews All-Purpose Flour \\$6.95](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/unbleached-all-purpose-flour)\n\n[![](https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/square_medium_550_x_550\/public\/product-image\/100656_ParchmentC20-4__52409.1735844725.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=0X65hpxq) 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 6287 Reviews Reviews Half-Sheet Baking Parchment Paper - 50 pack \\$19.95](https:\/\/shop.kingarthurbaking.com\/items\/half-sheet-baking-parchment-paper)\n\nBased on 417 reviews\n\nSearch reviews\n\nSearch reviews\n\nRating\n\nAll ratings\n\nSort by\n\n:Highest rating\n\n- Krista S.\n  \n  Verified Reviewer\n  \n  **Best Banana Bread\\!**\n  \n  Really delicious.

A hint of spice, honey for sweetness and moist texture, and one final touch—a few spoonfuls of jam—distinguish this tasty bread from run-of-the-mill versions.

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan; or a 12" x 4" [tea loaf pan](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/tea-loaf-pan). 2. In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, beating until smooth. 3. Add the mashed bananas, jam, honey, and eggs, again beating until smooth. 4. Add the flour, then the walnuts, stirring just until smooth. #### Learn more [![Banana Bread](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/sites/default/files/styles/kaf_thumbnail_small_200x135_/public/recipe_legacy/5-3-large.jpg?itok=lyG2Lg66)](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2008/04/21/ima-fanna-banana-bread) Blog ##### [Banana Bread, an ultimate classic](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2008/04/21/ima-fanna-banana-bread) By PJ Hamel 5. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. 6. Bake the bread for 45 minutes, then gently lay a piece of aluminum foil across the top, to prevent over-browning. 7. Bake for an additional 25 minutes (20 minutes if you're baking in a tea loaf pan). Remove the bread from the oven; a long toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center should come out clean, with a few wet crumbs clinging to it. The tester shouldn't show any sign of uncooked batter. If it does, bake the bread an additional 5 minutes, or until it tests done. 8. Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove it from the pan, and cool it completely on a rack. ## Tips from our Bakers - Want to make this recipe gluten-free? For great results, substitute [King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-measure-for-measure-flour) for the all-purpose flour in this recipe. Be sure to bake thoroughly; gluten-free baked goods often need a bit more time in the oven. - Be sure to use ripe bananas; their peels should be bright yellow, with no green showing at all, and beginning to turn brown. For more pronounced banana flavor, use extra-ripe bananas, ones whose peels are mostly black-brown. - An easy way to mash bananas is to peel, cut into chunks, and place in a zip-top plastic bag, leaving about 1/4" open at the top of the bag for air to escape. Gently knead/flatten/squash the banana chunks with your fingers. - To make banana bread French toast: Cut your several-day-old loaf into 3/4"-thick slices. Dip the slices into [your favorite French toast batter](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/french-toast-recipe), and cook in a skillet or on a griddle. For added crunch, crush 2 to 3 cups of cornflakes in a wide shallow dish, and dip both sides of your battered banana bread slices into the flakes before cooking. - For a reduced-sugar version of this bread, cut the brown sugar in half, to 1/3 cup. For an even greater reduction, use just 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Each version will retain its moist texture, and taste fine — simply less sweet, more banana-y. ## Baker’s Resources - [Recipe success guide](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/guides/recipe-success-guide) - [Baking guides](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn) - [High-altitude baking](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn/resources/high-altitude-baking) - [Baker’s yeast](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2023/05/10/guide-to-baking-with-yeast) - [Ingredient weight chart](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn/ingredient-weight-chart) - [Tools & pans](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2023/06/05/your-complete-guide-to-baking-pans) - [How to measure flour](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/videos/baking-skills/how-to-measure-flour) - [Safe handling instructions](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/policies/flour-safety) ![Baker’s Hotline](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/themes/custom/kaf_nextgenweb/images/bakers-hotline.png) [Chat with a baker](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/launchchat) Shop ### Recommended for you [![](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_medium_550_x_550/public/product-image/VanillaGroup__16198.1762195094.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=7rmbaFVd) 4.8 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 1596 Reviews Reviews King Arthur Pure Vanilla Extract - 16 oz \$84.95](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/king-arthur-pure-vanilla-extract) [![](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_medium_550_x_550/public/product-image/vietnamese-cinnamon-3-oz-1__22282_864__74787.1724079443.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=KFFg15KK) 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 3082 Reviews Reviews Vietnamese Cinnamon \$8.95](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/vietnamese-cinnamon) [![](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_medium_550_x_550/public/product-image/king-arthur-unbleached-all-purpose-flour-5-lb-1__96453__68278__72623.1724079457.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=NQ7_faUZ) 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 3509 Reviews Reviews All-Purpose Flour \$6.95](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/unbleached-all-purpose-flour) [![](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_medium_550_x_550/public/product-image/100656_ParchmentC20-4__52409.1735844725.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=0X65hpxq) 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 6287 Reviews Reviews Half-Sheet Baking Parchment Paper - 50 pack \$19.95](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/half-sheet-baking-parchment-paper) Reviews Q\&A 4\.6 Based on 417 reviews - 5 327 - 4 45 - 3 23 - 2 11 - 1 11 Write A Review Search reviews Search reviews Rating RatingAll ratings All ratings 5 stars 4 stars 3 stars 2 stars 1 star With media Sort by Sort by:Highest rating Highest rating Lowest rating Most recent With media Verified purchase - KS Krista S.

Readable Markdown	1. [Recipes](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes) 2. [Quick Bread](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/quick-bread) Recipe by [PJ Hamel](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/author/pj-hamel) [417 Reviews 4\.6 out of 5 stars](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/banana-bread-recipe#review-section) Banana bread is oh-so-simple... yet like many simple recipes, requires a few out of the ordinary ingredients to bring it from potentially boring to memorable. A hint of spice, honey for sweetness and moist texture, and one final touch—a few spoonfuls of jam—distinguish this tasty bread from run-of-the-mill versions. Prep 20 mins Bake 1 hr 10 mins Total 1 hr 30 mins Yield 1 loaf ![Banana Bread](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/sites/default/files/styles/featured_image_sm/public/recipe_legacy/5-3-large.jpg?itok=z5mFsNZU) [![Our Best Products](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/themes/custom/kaf_nextgenweb/images/shop-ad-desktop.jpg)](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/half-sheet-baking-parchment-paper) ## Instructions Bake Mode Prevent your screen from going dark as you follow along. 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan; or a 12" x 4" [tea loaf pan](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/tea-loaf-pan). 2. In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, beating until smooth. 3. Add the mashed bananas, jam, honey, and eggs, again beating until smooth. 4. Add the flour, then the walnuts, stirring just until smooth. 5. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. 6. Bake the bread for 45 minutes, then gently lay a piece of aluminum foil across the top, to prevent over-browning. 7. Bake for an additional 25 minutes (20 minutes if you're baking in a tea loaf pan). Remove the bread from the oven; a long toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center should come out clean, with a few wet crumbs clinging to it. The tester shouldn't show any sign of uncooked batter. If it does, bake the bread an additional 5 minutes, or until it tests done. 8. Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove it from the pan, and cool it completely on a rack. ## Tips from our Bakers - Want to make this recipe gluten-free? For great results, substitute [King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-measure-for-measure-flour) for the all-purpose flour in this recipe. Be sure to bake thoroughly; gluten-free baked goods often need a bit more time in the oven. - Be sure to use ripe bananas; their peels should be bright yellow, with no green showing at all, and beginning to turn brown. For more pronounced banana flavor, use extra-ripe bananas, ones whose peels are mostly black-brown. - An easy way to mash bananas is to peel, cut into chunks, and place in a zip-top plastic bag, leaving about 1/4" open at the top of the bag for air to escape. Gently knead/flatten/squash the banana chunks with your fingers. - To make banana bread French toast: Cut your several-day-old loaf into 3/4"-thick slices. Dip the slices into [your favorite French toast batter](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/french-toast-recipe), and cook in a skillet or on a griddle. For added crunch, crush 2 to 3 cups of cornflakes in a wide shallow dish, and dip both sides of your battered banana bread slices into the flakes before cooking. - For a reduced-sugar version of this bread, cut the brown sugar in half, to 1/3 cup. For an even greater reduction, use just 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Each version will retain its moist texture, and taste fine — simply less sweet, more banana-y. ## Baker’s Resources - [Recipe success guide](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/guides/recipe-success-guide) - [Baking guides](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn) - [High-altitude baking](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn/resources/high-altitude-baking) - [Baker’s yeast](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2023/05/10/guide-to-baking-with-yeast) - [Ingredient weight chart](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn/ingredient-weight-chart) - [Tools & pans](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2023/06/05/your-complete-guide-to-baking-pans) - [How to measure flour](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/videos/baking-skills/how-to-measure-flour) - [Safe handling instructions](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/policies/flour-safety) Shop ### Recommended for you [![](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_medium_550_x_550/public/product-image/VanillaGroup__16198.1762195094.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=7rmbaFVd) 4.8 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 1596 Reviews Reviews King Arthur Pure Vanilla Extract - 16 oz \$84.95](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/king-arthur-pure-vanilla-extract) [![](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_medium_550_x_550/public/product-image/vietnamese-cinnamon-3-oz-1__22282_864__74787.1724079443.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=KFFg15KK) 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 3082 Reviews Reviews Vietnamese Cinnamon \$8.95](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/vietnamese-cinnamon) [![](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_medium_550_x_550/public/product-image/king-arthur-unbleached-all-purpose-flour-5-lb-1__96453__68278__72623.1724079457.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=NQ7_faUZ) 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 3509 Reviews Reviews All-Purpose Flour \$6.95](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/unbleached-all-purpose-flour) [![](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_medium_550_x_550/public/product-image/100656_ParchmentC20-4__52409.1735844725.386.513.jpg%3Fc%3D1.jpg?itok=0X65hpxq) 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 6287 Reviews Reviews Half-Sheet Baking Parchment Paper - 50 pack \$19.95](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/half-sheet-baking-parchment-paper) Based on 417 reviews Search reviews Search reviews Rating All ratings Sort by :Highest rating - Krista S.
