For all my lazy chefs out there, I did this recipe in one bowl with one fork and one spatula. Mixed all the dry ingredients together first and then added the room temp butter and eggs, followed by the cooled down baked bananas and it turned out excellent! Also threw in a half cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and it was phenomenal.
@@isabellagraves8237 I've actually done this recipe with 2 different pans and it worked great both times. One was a glass 8x11 casserole dish and the other was a standard 8.5" x 4.5" metal loaf pan. Did both at 350F for about 50 minutes. The glass cooked faster since it was more spread out though so you have to keep an eye on it around the 40 minute mark🙂
Thank you for the recipe! I'm new to baking and this was so easy and quick that I ended up making 3 batches in like 2 days lol. Even using lower-quality ingredients(I swapped butter for margarine and brown sugar for white sugar) it turned out so good! First batch got stuck to the loaf pan even though I greased my pan pretty well but it was so tasty I had to give it one more shot. Next day I tried using parchment paper and added a few blueberries to one batch and a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder to the other and they turned out great! Shoutout to the guy posting measurements in grams in the comments. I would've been totally lost without him.
Baked banana bread for the first time and I must say that your recipes are always perfect! Perfect ingredients, perfect instructions and perfect quantities specified
easy recipe, after making it for 4-5 times, i started adding 2 more bananas, for a total of five, and i don t put them in the oven anymore because i noticed that if you don t let them cool properly in the banana peel, and peel them off while they are still hot, to much of the water evaporates from them and they have a dry fell in the cake. So now i mash them with a fork and leave them on the table for 10 minutes, remash them, and they are great, no dry tasting banana bred, even if the bananas were not ripped. A great and easy recipe and thank you for the metric measurements !
I've made this 3 times already in my convection oven. a foolproof recipe. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with this. I creamed butter and sugar with a hand mixer for 2 mins then added the eggs while mixing with 30sec intervals. And just yesterday I mixed a chopped-up chocolate bar for extra flavor and it came out perfectly. Can't thank you enough. You are now my Baking Guru!
@@isabellagraves8237 I've used a standard 9x5 loaf pan but only once and since then I have not seen it so I decided to bake it in a 9x9 brownie pan and everytime I've made this I've baked it for 50 to 60 minutes and they always came out perfectly. If you're worried about over/under baking I would check at the 50 minute mark and stick a wooden toothpick or skewer in. If it comes out relatively clean but with a few crumbs it should be fine. If underbaking it is the fear I've stuck it back in the oven for 10 more minutes and it still comes out nice. The bread is fairly forgiving in my experience.
This recipe also works with freshly milled flour. It’s been my go to recipe for a couple of years, and everyone who eats it, just raves about it. I substitute freshly milled, soft white wheat for the flour, and use cane sugar. Not only is it considerably healthier, but it’s out of this world delicious. Thank you, John, for passing on all your kitchen wisdom. You’re far and away, my favorite RUclips cook.
Made this today and found it perfectly moist, tender, not overly sweet and with a beautiful crunchy crust on the edges. Made it in a toaster oven for 60 min. Thanks for the recipe!
Hands down, this is the best Banana Bread recipe. It nevers goes wrong. I will literally pass down this recipe to my children and grandkids. Thanks John!
Hi Mr. Kanell, just baked your banana bread this morning. I've been making different types of banana breads for decades. After trying yours, I will never again make mine with oil or over mix. Butter and a gentle hand produced the best banana bread. Delightful texture and delicious flavor. Thank you for teaching me! ❤
I recently introduced your channel to my husband. Me: this guy’s pretty cool! He’s a former science teacher turned food blogger. Husband: so he’s.... “Baking Bad”. That is all he calls you now. 😂😩
Just had my entire family try it and they LOVED it. A few alterations I made: - Used whipped up browned butter to bring a nutty flavor when paired with brown sugar. Trust me on this. It's soo much better. - I had to measure the brown sugar in cups instead of in weight because 150g originally yielded too much sugar for me! - had to separate the batter into 2 baking dishes for baking - only baked the bread for about 40 mins in my oven! It was perfectly cooked.
OMG! I am 76 and never ever made banana bread before…have never been fond of it. Anyway, I made this recipe this morning…even baked the bananas like you showed and measured them out with my scale…only change I made was using 1and 1/2 tsp. Of cardomom instead of cinnamon and I added a cup of pecans. WOW! This is delicious!
Thank you for this recepie. So far this banana bread recepie is the best I've tried. It's not only moist, but it's fluffy as well. Seriously the consistency is like a store bought one. My whole family loved it. I did't have brown sugar at home so I used coconutflower sugar instead of white sugar and it came out amazing. Also added some goji berries and whole almonds. I'm gonna experiment further on whith this base recepie. Thank you again. 🙏
Hi! Just wanted to say I tried this out and it was AMAZING Thank you SOOO muchhhh O btw if you were wondering, I baked the bread at 180°C for about 25 minutes and it came out wonderfully moist and fluffy.. love it!!!!
I just made this recipe, and it's the best banana bread recipe I've found. Light and airy. Just amazingly delish! I added some walnuts. Yum, yum!!!! Thank you, darling!!
@@isabellagraves8237 I don't know the exact size but it was the large loaf pan. And I baked it in my counter-top oven which is pretty hot. I don't remember the exact time but I believe it was consistent with what John said. I checked it with a toothpick. I added extra cinnamon, too.
This looks so delicious. But by far, the sweetest thing in the video... your little guy. What a doll - the cutest little taste tester ever. You were just beaming when you were holding him. Thanks for having him make an appearance!!
I love this recipe, thank you for sharing it. I've made it twice, and each time it turns out better. The only thing I change is that I use whole wheat flour, add an extra banana, and use less sugar, and I love the result👌. I would like to know if I want to make it with a different fruit, is that possible, and what fruits would you recommend to replace the banana and get a different flavor? Thank you in advance for your response .
I made this recipe today because I had some bananas that needed to be used or thrown away. I love banana nut bread. The only difference is I added chopped walnuts. This was amazing. I've already eaten 2 slices. This is by far the best recipe I've ever made of banana bread and I've made a lot of them. Thanks so very much for such a great recipe.
The brown sugar you used looks like our (UK) 'Light Soft Brown Sugar'. We also have Dark Soft Brown, Demera (looks like granulated, but brown), muscovado and pale brown 'Golden Caster Sugar' which gives a slight caramel taste to cakes and biscuits. Hope this helps. Love ALL your gorgeous recipes 😘💞💖💓
I just made this recipe Gluten Free!!! I made few changes to your recipe. I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Flour and used 1/3 cup tightly packed brown sugar - i then added chopped walnuts and golden raisins. It came out super delicious! Thank you 😊
Amazing 🤩 I baked for my husband he is soccer player and doesn’t really like sweet sweet pastries, but he loves banana bread , I used one recipe before but it came out too sweet and never baked at the bottom good so I kinda gave up …So today I tried your one and it turned great ! Not too sweet , no unnecessary ingredients, perfect 👍 my husband loved it !
Just made this recipe and added 1/4 teaspoon of allspice to the batter (also made muffins instead of bread) and it tasted DELICIOUS! Even my picky bf LOVED IT.
Delicious! I used frozen bananas that I thawed in the microwave at half power for 30 seconds. It really is incredibly moist. I needed 60 minutes in the oven. A wonderful way to use all those bananas I've been throwing in the freezer when they became too ripe.
Please watch the video, dont skip to just the recipe. He teaches you more than any recipe. Ive learned so much from him. Jesus bless you all. Cooking is an art ,made with love
First time baker here. I've used brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. I was just following the recipe on your website and watching your video at the same time. Everything went well and my roommates liked it.
OH MY GOODNESS GUYS! I JUST MADE THIS AND IT IS AMAZING!!!!! Never making banana bread from a box again. A must try!!! Thanks John for all you delicious recipes!
Omg!!! Once again I made another recipe from John and I nailed it! My family is loving all the recipes! Thank you so much! I didn’t have a rectangular pan but I placed mine over parchment paper on one side on a square 9” pan and placed aluminum foil on the other side to hold it and it came out perfect!!!❤❤❤
Just finished making this bread and it is so delicious and moist Thank you for sharing. This is my first time making banana bread and I added some chopped nuts and it is so good
I made this today for the first time, and now can finally say my search for the perfect banana bread recipe is over! It’s so simple and basic but the perfect balance of flavor. Thanks for sharing
Hey John Came across your video on banana bread always wanted to try this. Well I did this afternoon. So with IPAD on counter went step by step. One word simply amazing. The family loved it as well . The family loves bananas and we always seem to have blackened too ripe left over not knowing what to do either than trash. Well problem solved. This is truly a crowd pleaser. Thank you sir.
I know of an amazing cupcake recipe using Biscoff and the crackers as a base as well as 1/2 of the cookie for decoration. There's a little bit more to them so if you're interested in the video just hit me up. I'm NOT joking when I say these cupcakes are to die for. My family members actually hid cupcakes to take home, lol. Its a good thing I made 24 of them. It was my 1st time ever using Biscoff in a dessert (never knew of its existence) but it was certainly not my last... 😋
@@littleceasar9351 Yep. Here in America they're called Biscoff biscuits. The spread? Biscoff spread or Cookie Butter (depending on what store you buy them in). At least that's what it says on the 3 pkgs of biscuits and 4 jars of Biscoff spread I have in my cabinet. 🤭 Can you tell just how much I love'em? 😋
Hi, I baked banana breads before but following your recipe is just another level for me, this banana bread is just AWESOME, thank you for sharing this recipe 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I've tried 2 or 3 different banana bread recipes and this is the only one that went out exactly as it supposed to be. It's moist and rich but not sticky. It also backed through perfectly unlike other recipes.
I just made a banana bread loaf today following this recipe, it came out ultra super duper delicious, soft and moist thank you!!! PS for anybody out there who doesn’t have baking soda on hand (which I didn’t) I just used triple the amount of baking powder instead of soda (so 3 tsp baking powder) and my loaf came out super soft and airy and so so good!!!! I also added in a dash of nutmeg to my dry ingredients lol
I made this last weekend, used weight measurements. I also used the hand mixer instead of folding in dry ingredients. I was worried cause my consistency was more liquidy than yours by quite a bit. Baked for 50min and it came out amazing. Stayed moist and soft for days. We finished the last bit of it on Thur with a cuppa tea, was still great. This is now in my personal recipe list. thanks
3 bananas 1 stick butter 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 3/4 cup flour (215 grams) (fluffy) 1 tsp kosher salt 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp baking soda 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed) 2 eggs Apparently not giving the recipe in an easy list increases view 🤷♀️ whoda thunk?
I just made this, waiting for my banana bread to cool off. I did of course already try it, and it’s the best banana bread I’ve ever made. It’s quite a surprise. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!
Altered recipe, doubled the recipe but added a 7th banana, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, 3/4 cup white sugar, lessened the brown sugar by 1/2 cup, and added a splash of coffee extract. Made them as large muffins which only took about 30 minutes to bake.
Thank you for this recipe! I just used the recipe to make some bread and it turned out delicious! I even used the banana ripening hack. I only had 2 bananas and didn’t have as much brown sugar as I thought so used have white sugar and half brown sugar. It turned out soooo good! It’s not overly sweet, it’s just perfect!
Can we please change the name of this recipe to BEST BANANA BREAD RECIPE EVER!!!! I am nine months pregnant and this has been a lifesaver for my morning sickness!❤ I love recipes from him already, but this is literally the best banana bread I have ever had❤❤❤ thank you for sharing it❤
He's such a cute dad. Love seeing him and his kid together I love it. People make me sick when they act like people who aren't straight shouldn't have kids. I can tell this dude's probably a better father than most of our fathers. Including mine. I really loved mine a lot but he had his problems.. really bad alcoholic =[. He did his best though. Just saying this dudes a way better parent than a ton of straight parents... Idk why it made me think of that but whatever it's true
I just made your recipe right now and MY GOD I have to say that this is the best banana bread I have ever eaten. Thanks for sharing your AMAZING recipe with us!!!!! OMG!
For a more complex texture, I use 50g of old fashion oats, 50g of steel cut oats, and 105g of flour. I also add nutmeg with the cinnamon. Great recipe and Merry Christmas.
I feel like I say this so many times, but you have such a calm and cheerful presence! It’s like infectious peace and happiness. (And your son is super cute!)
i’m cooking it again today. using this recipe. i like that the blog also mentions cloves and nutmeg. they do make some nice difference that i appreciate
Thank you for the tip on ripening the bananas in the oven, I am often ready for banana bread but no ripe bananas to use. Really enjoy your videos, they have a relaxed and wholesomeness to them.
Just baked this today and it was delicious! Here are some troubleshooting tips based on my experience: 1. I did use extremely ripe bananas, so it was slightly too sweet. So make sure you guys adjust the amount of sugar accordingly. The riper the banana, the less added sugar you need. Mine were literally about to decompose lol. 2. I creamed the butter and sugar for too long. When I added the eggs, it split. If this happens, don't panic. Just add in your dry ingredients and bake. It'll smooth out once you've folded in the dry ingredients and will bake perfectly fine. It's best not to cream the butter and sugar together for too long though. Do it just until the butter is slightly fluffier and a pale yellow in color. The sugar doesn't have to dissolve all the way. 3. One of my bananas was in the fridge, which brought down the temperature of my batter and caused it to split. USE ALL ROOM TEMPERATURE INGREDIENTS!! 4. Ovens are very different. I baked mine for five minutes less since my oven is really small. You might have to bake for longer or shorter depending on your oven.
@@pixiesujira6995 that wasn’t the case. My eggs had been out. The banana that I took from the fridge is what caused it to split, along with creaming for too long ^.^
@@NohealaniMakanani The water and fat from the butter essentially separates, causing the batter to look watery and greasy at the same time, with little particles of white/yellow butter fat speckled throughout. It does not look homogenous.
@@kangkhita ooooo ok! Ty for this info. I was askin my mom about it prior to ur explanation. She had nvr heard of splitting before. Again, ty for ur explanation. I don't think I've experienced that before
I tried this. It's a perfect recipe. I loved the consistency. Thanks for mentioning exact measurements. And, the idea of seasoning the bananas are also nice 😉
This is the 3rd recipe that I made following his video and like always, it worked like a charm. The bread came out super spongy, and I absolutely loved the taste of cinnamon in it. Thanks for the recipe, will definitely make more❤
I'm new to your channel and I just love it! I'd suggest to have the ingredients written either on the screen or in the box you have below the video. It would cut down the times we go back and forth to catch them. Thanks!
This recipe this recipe needs a warning sign for how good it is, I could eat a whole loaf in a day it’s so good. I mushed up the banana as good as I could cause I don’t like big chunks and it was so perfect.
I’m not sure if you’ll see this, since it’s been 3 years. But I followed your recipe as first timer baking banana bread. It turned out amazing. Thank you!
Oh yes! I love the banana bread from my local coffee shop, but I never knew how to make it at home! (Banana bread is not a very common recipe in France) Now I'm going to try it as soon as i can! 👀♥️
Watched your video early this morning. As it was had bananas that were extremely ripe, it not all the way. So afterwards, decided to go for it. Hit them in the oven as described turned them into mush. Also used your brown sugar add on with reg. Added a few choc chips in and on top. Took 70 minutes AND IT WAS AMAZING JOHN.. Thank you so much!!!!!
I tried this recipe and amazing literally so good. My mom can't eat bananas but she ate this and liked it. + He explains everything so clearly. Lots of support 💖
Amazing. First time baker here and I can already say that your recipe and instructions are the best on RUclips. Thank you for sharing. (The only thing I did different was use the convection / ventilator in my oven for more even baking )
My B-day is this weekend and I made this banana bread as my alternative cake. Even my grandma (who has very picky tastes) loved it!! I can never go wrong with your recipes - I feel it's just not possible. Wishing you all the happiness with your family. Thank you John!
Thank you for sharing your results Natalie! I'm new to baking, and I always love seeing when viewers have success with recipes in the comments section... boosts my confidence when choosing which recipes to try! Thanks again! Fawn 😍
This worked so well! I used 2 bananas and 3 eggs instead of the other way around and no vanilla + added choco chips, raisins, and pecan pieces. I also used a flat baking sheet instead of the bread mold and put it in for aprox 30 min - it turned out so yummy! 🤓💕

I made this recipe today because I had some bananas that needed to be used or thrown away. I love banana nut bread. The only difference is I added chopped walnuts. This was amazing. I've already eaten 2 slices. This is by far the best recipe I've ever made of banana bread and I've made a lot of them. Thanks so very much for such a great recipe.
The brown sugar you used looks like our (UK) 'Light Soft Brown Sugar'. We also have Dark Soft Brown, Demera (looks like granulated, but brown), muscovado and pale brown 'Golden Caster Sugar' which gives a slight caramel taste to cakes and biscuits. Hope this helps. Love ALL your gorgeous recipes 😘💞💖💓
I just made this recipe Gluten Free!!! I made few changes to your recipe.
I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Flour and used 1/3 cup tightly packed brown sugar - i then added chopped walnuts and golden raisins. It came out super delicious! Thank you 😊
That boy is going to melt a lot of hearts... he’s so adorable!
Amazing 🤩 I baked for my husband he is soccer player and doesn’t really like sweet sweet pastries, but he loves banana bread , I used one recipe before but it came out too sweet and never baked at the bottom good so I kinda gave up …So today I tried your one and it turned great ! Not too sweet , no unnecessary ingredients, perfect 👍 my husband loved it !
Just made this recipe and added 1/4 teaspoon of allspice to the batter (also made muffins instead of bread) and it tasted DELICIOUS! Even my picky bf LOVED IT.
Delicious! I used frozen bananas that I thawed in the microwave at half power for 30 seconds. It really is incredibly moist. I needed 60 minutes in the oven. A wonderful way to use all those bananas I've been throwing in the freezer when they became too ripe.
Please watch the video, dont skip to just the recipe. He teaches you more than any recipe. Ive learned so much from him. Jesus bless you all. Cooking is an art ,made with love
First time baker here. I've used brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. I was just following the recipe on your website and watching your video at the same time. Everything went well and my roommates liked it.
I made this today, leaving out the cinnamon, adding cardamom and walnuts. Amaaaazing 🥰
Omg walnuts is an amazing idea. I’m gonna try that
OH MY GOODNESS GUYS! I JUST MADE THIS AND IT IS AMAZING!!!!! Never making banana bread from a box again. A must try!!! Thanks John for all you delicious recipes!
If you dont mind me asking, what size pan did you use and how long did you cook the banana bread
When can we expect a Preppy Kitchen Cookbook?
THANK YOU! I had never heard about over beating the batter before. My banana bread came out so amazing this time!!! Thank you again and again.
Omg!!! Once again I made another recipe from John and I nailed it! My family is loving all the recipes! Thank you so much! I didn’t have a rectangular pan but I placed mine over parchment paper on one side on a square 9” pan and placed aluminum foil on the other side to hold it and it came out perfect!!!❤❤❤
I've made this banana bread recipe several times. It's always delicious. The banana hack is brilliant.
John upgraded his apron! Love the leather accents. He should add them to his merch. I'd buy one.
I got one similar to that - it’s very cool 😎
meh
KILEY KITTRIDGE why wont you agree to adding this apron to his merch?
Just finished making this bread and it is so delicious and moist Thank you for sharing. This is my first time making banana bread and I added some chopped nuts and it is so good
I made this today for the first time, and now can finally say my search for the perfect banana bread recipe is over! It’s so simple and basic but the perfect balance of flavor. Thanks for sharing
@Coisa Fofa, I completely agree with you, the search is over! Haha, I tried it and loved it, and so did everyone else. Thank you for sharing John!
Did it still turn out moist enogh though?
@@apowe110 it did for me. I’ve made it multiple times
Me too
Hey John
Came across your video on banana bread always wanted to try this. Well I did this afternoon. So with IPAD on counter went step by step. One word simply amazing. The family loved it as well . The family loves bananas and we always seem to have blackened too ripe left over not knowing what to do either than trash. Well problem solved. This is truly a crowd pleaser. Thank you sir.
Can you do a biscoff (cookie butter) cake or cupcake?!!! This flavor is to die for 🤩🤩🤩
Help me get this to the top!!
I know of an amazing cupcake recipe using Biscoff and the crackers as a base as well as 1/2 of the cookie for decoration. There's a little bit more to them so if you're interested in the video just hit me up. I'm NOT joking when I say these cupcakes are to die for. My family members actually hid cupcakes to take home, lol. Its a good thing I made 24 of them. It was my 1st time ever using Biscoff in a dessert (never knew of its existence) but it was certainly not my last... 😋
Are you talking about Speculos?
@@littleceasar9351 Yep. Here in America they're called Biscoff biscuits. The spread? Biscoff spread or Cookie Butter (depending on what store you buy them in). At least that's what it says on the 3 pkgs of biscuits and 4 jars of Biscoff spread I have in my cabinet. 🤭 Can you tell just how much I love'em? 😋
Oh man it is delicious
Hi, I baked banana breads before but following your recipe is just another level for me, this banana bread is just AWESOME, thank you for sharing this recipe 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just in case anyone is wondering, I know he said he used a 9x13 inch loaf pan, but I used a 9x5 loaf pan and it seemed to work just fine 😊
I've tried 2 or 3 different banana bread recipes and this is the only one that went out exactly as it supposed to be. It's moist and rich but not sticky. It also backed through perfectly unlike other recipes.
That little "bye bye" at the end just gave me baby fever!!!!
I've got your recipe in the oven now, and with 25 minutes to it already smells delicious to my wife and I. Thanks!!
I just made a banana bread loaf today following this recipe, it came out ultra super duper delicious, soft and moist thank you!!!
PS for anybody out there who doesn’t have baking soda on hand (which I didn’t) I just used triple the amount of baking powder instead of soda (so 3 tsp baking powder) and my loaf came out super soft and airy and so so good!!!! I also added in a dash of nutmeg to my dry ingredients lol
If you dont mind me asking, what size pan did you use and how long did you cook the banana bread
I made this last weekend, used weight measurements. I also used the hand mixer instead of folding in dry ingredients. I was worried cause my consistency was more liquidy than yours by quite a bit. Baked for 50min and it came out amazing. Stayed moist and soft for days. We finished the last bit of it on Thur with a cuppa tea, was still great. This is now in my personal recipe list. thanks
You have the most adorable son 😍😍😍😍😍

I made this substituting butter for olive oil, used extra cinnamon and vanilla, added 1/2 of bran and it turned out great! Good base recipe.
3 bananas
1 stick butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup flour (215 grams) (fluffy)
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
2 eggs
Apparently not giving the recipe in an easy list increases view 🤷♀️ whoda thunk?
Thank you! I watched it earlier & didn’t want to view the full video again, wasn’t sure if milk was included
What about baking time ?
@@annlatham 350 degrees for 50 - 60 minutes until a skewer comes out clean and/or bouncy to the touch.
I just made this, waiting for my banana bread to cool off. I did of course already try it, and it’s the best banana bread I’ve ever made. It’s quite a surprise. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!
Altered recipe, doubled the recipe but added a 7th banana, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, 3/4 cup white sugar, lessened the brown sugar by 1/2 cup, and added a splash of coffee extract. Made them as large muffins which only took about 30 minutes to bake.
Just made this! Delicious! I added chocolate chips and diced pecans on top for an extra bite and touch of sweetness! ❤
I literally make this same recipe like once every two weeks no cap. Turns out PERFECT everytime
Made this again last night....I love how easy this is....added walnuts for a little crunch~...Thanks again~
Thank you for this recipe! I just used the recipe to make some bread and it turned out delicious! I even used the banana ripening hack. I only had 2 bananas and didn’t have as much brown sugar as I thought so used have white sugar and half brown sugar. It turned out soooo good! It’s not overly sweet, it’s just perfect!
If you dont mind me asking, what size pan did you use and how long did you cook the banana bread
@@isabellagraves8237 I just used a standard size bread pan and cooked for the length of time listed in the recipe
Can we please change the name of this recipe to BEST BANANA BREAD RECIPE EVER!!!! I am nine months pregnant and this has been a lifesaver for my morning sickness!❤ I love recipes from him already, but this is literally the best banana bread I have ever had❤❤❤ thank you for sharing it❤
He's such a cute dad. Love seeing him and his kid together I love it. People make me sick when they act like people who aren't straight shouldn't have kids. I can tell this dude's probably a better father than most of our fathers. Including mine. I really loved mine a lot but he had his problems.. really bad alcoholic =[. He did his best though. Just saying this dudes a way better parent than a ton of straight parents... Idk why it made me think of that but whatever it's true
I just made your recipe right now and MY GOD I have to say that this is the best banana bread I have ever eaten. Thanks for sharing your AMAZING recipe with us!!!!! OMG!
Omg he’s adorable 😍
Yes sooo cute 🥰
So is his son! 😁
@@jetstream1146 I think that’s what he meant not Trina be mean
@@jiminsinvisiblejams5993 No worries. I was trying to be funny 😁
For a more complex texture, I use 50g of old fashion oats, 50g of steel cut oats, and 105g of flour. I also add nutmeg with the cinnamon. Great recipe and Merry Christmas.
Just make this at home today, it turned out sooo good! Me and my husband finished half of the tin in the afternoon and at night it's gone 😁
If you dont mind me asking, what size pan did you use and how long did you cook the banana bread
I made this banana bread with some walnuts raisins and choclate chips. It was delicious...Thanks for sharing
So cute at the end 😊 love it also I died at the romantic part 😂
When you get intimate with the bread . ❤️
The cooking banana part beforehand is genius! Just did it and it’s an amazing technique
I feel like I say this so many times, but you have such a calm and cheerful presence! It’s like infectious peace and happiness. (And your son is super cute!)
I made banana bread for the first time today!!! So happy how it turned out.
Finally we get to see one of the two sons!
😊
Yeah
i’m cooking it again today. using this recipe. i like that the blog also mentions cloves and nutmeg. they do make some nice difference that i appreciate
I’ve used this recipe so many times to make banana bread and it came out perfect! I love it 10/10❤️❤️
Thank you for the tip on ripening the bananas in the oven, I am often ready for banana bread but no ripe bananas to use. Really enjoy your videos, they have a relaxed and wholesomeness to them.
Just baked this today and it was delicious! Here are some troubleshooting tips based on my experience:
1. I did use extremely ripe bananas, so it was slightly too sweet. So make sure you guys adjust the amount of sugar accordingly. The riper the banana, the less added sugar you need. Mine were literally about to decompose lol.
2. I creamed the butter and sugar for too long. When I added the eggs, it split. If this happens, don't panic. Just add in your dry ingredients and bake. It'll smooth out once you've folded in the dry ingredients and will bake perfectly fine. It's best not to cream the butter and sugar together for too long though. Do it just until the butter is slightly fluffier and a pale yellow in color. The sugar doesn't have to dissolve all the way.
3. One of my bananas was in the fridge, which brought down the temperature of my batter and caused it to split. USE ALL ROOM TEMPERATURE INGREDIENTS!!
4. Ovens are very different. I baked mine for five minutes less since my oven is really small. You might have to bake for longer or shorter depending on your oven.
I think the reason your creamed butter and egg split because the eggs were too cold. Happened to me as well.
@@pixiesujira6995 that wasn’t the case. My eggs had been out. The banana that I took from the fridge is what caused it to split, along with creaming for too long ^.^
What does it mean to "split?"
@@NohealaniMakanani The water and fat from the butter essentially separates, causing the batter to look watery and greasy at the same time, with little particles of white/yellow butter fat speckled throughout. It does not look homogenous.
@@kangkhita ooooo ok! Ty for this info. I was askin my mom about it prior to ur explanation. She had nvr heard of splitting before. Again, ty for ur explanation. I don't think I've experienced that before
Brown sugar is a game changer. Great results! ❤
Definitely a favorite. Good choice on your new hire of taste chef. So adorable. 🥰
I tried this. It's a perfect recipe. I loved the consistency. Thanks for mentioning exact measurements. And, the idea of seasoning the bananas are also nice 😉
If you dont mind me asking, what size pan did you use and how long did you cook the banana bread
I tried it , I made it like 3x times already since everyone loved it.
Thank you for the recipe! Tried it tonight and added roasted crushed walnuts 🤤
I added Julia Child’s pecan pralines-in the oven right now. Smells amazing
I made this today but with oatmeal flour And coconut sugar. Came out so yummy!
That looks amazing 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻Your son is very cute😍
Hello and happy baking!
Oh cool I’m from Scotland too
Hello
This is the 3rd recipe that I made following his video and like always, it worked like a charm. The bread came out super spongy, and I absolutely loved the taste of cinnamon in it. Thanks for the recipe, will definitely make more❤
I'm new to your channel and I just love it! I'd suggest to have the ingredients written either on the screen or in the box you have below the video. It would cut down the times we go back and forth to catch them. Thanks!
This recipe this recipe needs a warning sign for how good it is, I could eat a whole loaf in a day it’s so good. I mushed up the banana as good as I could cause I don’t like big chunks and it was so perfect.
I made this banana bread this afternoon, and it turned out fantastic. Thanks for the great recipe!
I’m not sure if you’ll see this, since it’s been 3 years. But I followed your recipe as first timer baking banana bread. It turned out amazing. Thank you!
Oh yes! I love the banana bread from my local coffee shop, but I never knew how to make it at home! (Banana bread is not a very common recipe in France) Now I'm going to try it as soon as i can! 👀♥️
Watched your video early this morning. As it was had bananas that were extremely ripe, it not all the way. So afterwards, decided to go for it. Hit them in the oven as described turned them into mush. Also used your brown sugar add on with reg. Added a few choc chips in and on top. Took 70 minutes AND IT WAS AMAZING JOHN.. Thank you so much!!!!!
I tried this recipe and amazing literally so good. My mom can't eat bananas but she ate this and liked it.
+ He explains everything so clearly.
Lots of support 💖
Amazing. First time baker here and I can already say that your recipe and instructions are the best on RUclips. Thank you for sharing. (The only thing I did different was use the convection / ventilator in my oven for more even baking )
Awww!!! Nothing better than see that look of Proud Daddy!
I never liked Banana bread.... but Dude... this was the most easy instructions for most delicious
Banana bread ever... I make this every week now
My B-day is this weekend and I made this banana bread as my alternative cake. Even my grandma (who has very picky tastes) loved it!! I can never go wrong with your recipes - I feel it's just not possible. Wishing you all the happiness with your family. Thank you John!
Thank you for sharing your results Natalie! I'm new to baking, and I always love seeing when viewers have success with recipes in the comments section... boosts my confidence when choosing which recipes to try! Thanks again!
Fawn 😍
This worked so well! I used 2 bananas and 3 eggs instead of the other way around and no vanilla + added choco chips, raisins, and pecan pieces. I also used a flat baking sheet instead of the bread mold and put it in for aprox 30 min - it turned out so yummy! 🤓💕
