Banana Bread needs no introduction. It’s cake like, easy and feels decadent and makes for a great treat.

One of my favorite recipe for Banana Bread uses ricotta and is decadent. Although I like the fancy, I make this simple basic banana bread version most of the time.

To make the very basic best banana bread that comes out super moist, it is important to start out with those ugly, overripe bananas!   They need to be a dark yellow with lots of browning.  The riper the bananas, the more moist your bread will be and the more banana flavor it will have!

HOW TO MAKE Basic BANANA BREAD:

This recipe makes one loaf of banana bread.  The first step is to preheat your oven and prepare a loaf pan some cooking spray or butter

• Next, take a large bowl as seen below and whisk together your dry ingredients.  This will include the flour, baking powder, salt, and any spice you like or omit it.
• Add your eggs,maple syrup and vanilla to your mashed banana mixer and use your fork to combine everything really well, until you no longer see any streaks of eggs.
• Mix wet and dry with spatula just until combined.  Don’t overmix.
• Now, you are ready to pour your batter into your prepared pan and bake!
