If you have been around here for some time you will see that I kind of love making muffins and banana bread!
They are both perfect for freezing, so the kids always have something they can pull out for breakfast or a snack!
A few types of breads!
- Chocolate Zucchini Bread, although this doesn’t have bananas in it, you can simple replace the zucchini with two bananas and you get chocolate banana bread! Yum!
- This Apple Cinnamon Banana Bread is one of my older post but it’s so popular! Everyone loves it with the apples and cinnamon!
- This Banana Chocolate Nut Bread is also an oldie! I am not a big fan of nuts in my bread, normally, but this bread does not disappoint!
What ingredients do I need?
Again this is super simple! For the wet ingredients you will need, bananas, oil, eggs, sour cream and vanilla.
For the dry ingredients you will need, flour, baking soda, salt, sugar and brown sugar.
How long does it cook?
This is really going to depend on your oven! I have a gas oven and my breads tend to bake up a lot quicker than an electric oven.
You should start looking at this around the 40 minute mark. I cooked mine an extra five minutes but I could of pulled it out earlier!
Can I add anything to this bread?
Yes! By all means, add nuts, chocolate chips, more banana (which will affect your baking time). Also as I stated above you can make this with zucchini or apples too.
