When we are looking for something easy to make for our morning or afternoon tea this Banana Bread recipe is one of the first we turn to. Without a doubt this is easily the BEST Banana Bread recipe you will ever try – I promise! It’s a great recipe to make with the kids as there is no need to use any bulky equipment (unless you are making it in the Thermomix of course!) and they will have a ball sifting, mashing and stirring all of the ingredients together.
If you want to mix things up you can also add ½ a cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to your mixture, however we love to eat this Banana Bread as is while it’s still warm with a big glass of milk.
As well as making this Banana Bread in a standard loaf tin, I also like to make it in mini loaf tins – which are perfect for the kids. This Banana Bread is also freezer friendly, simply place it in a freezer safe container and you can then store it for up to 6 weeks – making it great for lunchbox snacks.
This is also a very easy recipe to double, why not make one Banana Bread Loaf and another batch of mini loaves?

Yum, and these photos just make the banana bread pop! I also add a tiny bit of chinese 5 spice, and its super delicious.

Mmmmmm, warm banana bread with cold butter. That reminds me of my Nanna and Pops house.
Warm bread is just the think at the moment, it is pretty cold and I like the idea of having this ready for my daughter when she gets home from school.
I don’t have a thermy, so will be using the original method, but my sister does so I will pass it onto her too.
I have recently started a food sharing site, photo site. Similar to the likes of foodgawker and tastespotting, only no where near at their scale!!!! We all have to start somewhere, I guess.
I would love to have you contribute your photos. I love food and I love food blogs, my sister, and a couple of friends have blogs and I know how hard they works and how despondent my sister is when something doesn’t make it onto the big sites. So I started Delishogram for all the food bloggers with amazing photos and amazing food. I want it to be a site that just celebrates food and cooking.
I would love to have you contribute, please think about popping over.
Have a great weekend.

Maybe I could try this as part of my getting Ari to eat new things project. Cake is a hot and cold food. Right now it is stone cold so maybe I could try again with this treat. Thanks for linking up. 🙂

Yum! I always love Banana Bread and I will try out your recipe for sure. My only problem is that we tend to go through so many darn bananas at the moment they never get a chance to get nice and ripe for cooking with!

Banana bread is a huge winner with my tornadoes (and me). It’s the one thing that will keep them still if we are at a café. Can’t wait to try this recipe out at home xx
Lauren
Anything that keeps the kids amused when out is always a winner with me too!
