Simple Banana Bread Recipe

I have never made banana bread before yesterday. Growing up my mom used to make it all the time and it was never something that I loved. As I grow up a bit, my taste buds have changed and I had some bananas on hand I figured I would give it a go. I have to say that it turned out better than I expected. In the mood for banana bread? Try this simple banana bread recipe.

With the bananas and the cup of sugar, this banana bread recipe has a fair bit of sugar. It’s an easy enough fix if you’re watching your sugar intake – you can cut the sugar by using 3/4 cups of sugar, or even by 1/2 cup. It depends on your taste buds. I have always thought of banana bread more as a banana cake, so I kept the sugar to the 1 cup and I’m calling it my treat.

Some of my favorite supplies for making this simple banana bread recipe:

1. Loaf pan
2. Kitchenaid Stand Mixer
3. Pure vanilla
4. Nonstick coconut spray

The caloric information below is for 1 of 8 thick slices, I like a nice thick slice of banana bread with my coffee but you can slice it thinner if you want to save a few grams of sugar and carbs.
