Ingredients for Banana Bread
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour

Directions for Banana Bread Recipe
- Firstly, the oven needs to be preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
- While the oven is being heated, lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. Loaf pans are used for baking bread. The greasing is done so that the mixture does not stick to the pan after baking is done.
- In a large bowl, prepare the mixture for the Banana Bread. First, sieve and mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Carefully mix it with a spoon or an egg-beater to form a well-incorporated mixture.
- In another bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Make sure to beat it till they are evenly combined, not leaving any granules of sugar behind. Break two eggs and put the mashed bananas into the mixture. Stir it well until it is well incorporated.
- When the mixture is well-blended, pour the mixture into the bowl where you made the mixture of flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir the batter evenly, so there are no lumps in the mixture, and all the flour is incorporated. Mix it well.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and put it in the oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour 5 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center of the bread to check if the batter is raw. Check to see until the toothpick is clean on inserting in the middle. Once it comes out clean – the cake is ready.
- After the bread is baked, cool the bread in the pan itself. Then, turn out onto a wire rack.
