14 AMAZING BANANA BREAD RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS

From thespruceeats.com
Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
  • Banana Date Bread. The addition of chopped dates gives this awesome banana bread even more sweet, earthy flavor and a unique, chewier texture. Dates work great as a substitute to nuts if you have an allergy, or a complement to them if you want to toss in some chopped walnuts or pecans, as well.
  • Banana Nut Bread. This moist, flavorful banana bread comes in as a fan favorite, with tons of five-star reviews. And once you try it, you'll understand why.
  • Moist Banana Bread With Coconut Oil. Turn your breakfast bread into dessert or treat yourself to some sweetness with the addition of chocolate chips. They give your classic banana bread just enough flare for a special breakfast or brunch, or a delicious after-work snack.
  • Double Chocolate Banana Bread. For a totally new twist on banana bread, add unsweetened cocoa powder for a dose of rich, chocolatey flavor, then sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top before baking for a pretty presentation and even more melted chocolate goodness.
  • Healthy Banana Bread. A few smart swaps make this banana bread a little healthier than your standard, without sacrificing flavor. Yogurt adds moisture without extra oil, a blend of whole-wheat and all-purpose flours add extra fiber, and flaxseed pumps up both while contributing to leavening.
  • Instant Pot Banana Bread. Yes, you can bake in your Instant Pot! This banana bread recipe comes out moist and flavorful. Just wrap the pan tightly in foil before baking so the steam doesn't get into the bread, making it mushy.
  • Bread Machine Banana Bread. Use your bread machine to make an easy, moist, and delicious banana bread without a lot of work. Most quick breads will bake in a standard bread machine in two hours, since the longer cycle usually results in heavier breads, like whole wheat.
  • Bourbon Banana Bread. This kicky banana bread recipe makes a fun twist on Nigella Lawson's classic banana bread, but with a luscious bourbon glaze and some extra booze in the batter to give it a wonderful moist texture.
  • Vegan Banana Bread. Make your banana bread vegan and low-fat by omitting the oil and eggs and adding just 1/3 cup vegan margarine. It makes an excellent introductory recipe for new vegan bakers, since it doesn't require any egg substitutes.
  • Banana Bread with Orange Zest. The addition of orange zest gives this banana bread a little extra citrus note that complements the banana perfectly. If you can, give it a day after baking to let the flavors mellow and meld.
