Makes one 9-x-5-inch (2L) loaf
Ingredients
1 ½ -¾ cups (375-400 g) mashed ripe bananas (3-4 bananas)
6 Tbsp (90 g) unsalted butter, melted
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
½ cup (100 g) packed light brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
1 ½ cups (225 g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp (5 g) baking soda
¼ tsp (.75 g) salt
1 cup (250 mL) chocolate chips or toasted walnut pieces (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C) and grease a 9-x-5-inch (2L) loaf pan.
2. Whisk the banana, melted butter, granulated and brown sugar together until well-blended. Whisk in the egg and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking soda and salt. Add this to the banana mixture and stir just until blended. Stir in the chocolate chips or walnut pieces (if using). Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf tin and sprinkle the top with a little sugar. Bake for about 75 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake for 20 minutes in the tin, then turn it out to cool completely on a cooling rack.
The banana bread will keep, well-wrapped for up to 3 days.

I made this recipe yesterday but I omitted the chocolate chips, used 4 medium bananas and only 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar as 1 cup of sugar would’ve made it wayyyyy too sweet. It came out perfectly 👌🏼 Oh, I’m Jamaican so I added freshly grated nutmeg, cinnamon powder, rose water, almond flavouring and mixed spice powder.

[@flowertina9891]

OMG that sounds amazing! Also, when I saw that 1 cup of sugar, I immediately thought it's going to be way too sweet for me. I'm going to try it with 1/2 cup.

[@dakshadesai3280]

Yes I also cut back on the suger

[@luannepang4193]

wow! she keeps the sugar in drawers, Jealous! If I do that in my place I may be scooping ants. Hahahaha!

[@gausiakhan907]

The best banana bread recipe I have ever made. Already made it almost 10 times. I love following Anna Olson’s recipe.

[@bernadettehanna1117]

So do l❤❤❤

[@mercurymadness9005]

This is by far the best banana bread recipe I have ever had. I’ve already made it three times and it’s absolutely delicious and turns out exactly the same every time. Thank you so much for this recipe.

[@cat.bem1991]

What oven temperature did you use?

[@himanshudarfade]

@@cat.bem1991 I have the same question. in the video she says 350, but video details says 325. Also when I looked up 1.5 cups of all purpose flour it measures somewhere around 180grams, But the recipe says 225grams. its a bit confusing TBH.

[@user-nl8go3vu3k]

Excellent!

[@tonsterdang]

one of the best versions ive done, thanks Anna!

@Oh Yum with Anna Olson...I have tried two times and both turned out well. I would like to know why my banana bread did not rise as much as your banana bread. I wonder which of the ingredients I used did not work.

[@lippydiary6558]

Anna thanks for the recipe, I made this last night and it was delicious. My home was filled with the smell of chocolate banana heaven while baking! My usual recipe uses vegetable oil and it keeps the bread moist but it tastes so much better with butter and bread is moist too!

I have tried many recipes for Banana bread and this is the best one I've ever made. Any recipe that calls for both brown sugar and granulated wins every time. The amazing thing about this recipe is that it is not too sweet and it is perfect sweetness. Everyone needs to trust the process and the result is a nice moist bread without the need for sour cream or yoghurt. Delicious.
