Banana Bread No Baking Soda Or Baking Powder

Banana bread has long been a favorite go-to recipe for those overripe bananas sitting on the counter. However, sometimes we may find ourselves without baking soda or baking powder. Don't worry, with this recipe you can still enjoy a delicious and moist banana bread without these ingredients.

Ingredients

Bananas
To make this banana bread with no baking soda or baking powder you will need:

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Bowl
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, mash three ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the melted butter, white sugar, brown sugar, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the mixing bowl, and mix well.

Mixing Bowl
Sift the all-purpose flour into the mixing bowl and stir until combined. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts. Be sure to mix just until the flour is incorporated. Overmixing can cause your bread to have a tough texture.

Pouring
Pour the batter into the greased 9x5 inch loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Oven
Bake the banana bread for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, remove the bread from the pan and place it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Tips and Tricks

Don't have a loaf pan handy? This recipe can also be made into muffins or mini loaves. Simply adjust the baking time accordingly.

To make this recipe vegan, replace the butter with vegan butter or coconut oil, and replace the eggs with a flax egg or applesauce.

For an extra sweet treat, add chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
