Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs well-beaten
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar or golden honey
  • 4 tablespoons of melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1¾ cups Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix
  • ½ teaspoon fine salt
  • ½ cup chopped nuts optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons yogurt or sour cream

Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your bread bakes evenly and comes out perfectly cooked.
  2. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. You can also line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  3. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. A fork does the trick nicely. You want it to be creamy but not completely liquefied.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the well-beaten eggs, melted butter, sugar (or honey), vanilla extract, and yogurt (or sour cream). Whisk them together until you get a smooth mixture.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the mashed bananas. Stir until just combined. There's no need to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. In another bowl, whisk together Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this dry mix to the banana mixture. Stir until everything is combined. If you’re adding nuts, now’s the time!
  7. Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
  8. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 55-65 minutes. Keep your eye on it! You want a nice golden-brown top.
  9. Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, your banana bread is ready! If not, give it a few more minutes.
  10. Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven. Let it cool in the pan for about 10

Notes

  • Use Overripe Bananas: The more spotty, the better. This will add natural sweetness.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your eggs and butter are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Don’t Overmix: It’s okay to have some lumps. Overmixing can lead to dense banana bread.
  • Watch the Baking Time: Every oven is different. Check for doneness a bit before the recommended time.
  • Cool Completely Before Storing: This prevents condensation, which can make your bread soggy.
