Banana bread is a type of bread that is made with mashed fully ripe bananas.[1] It is often a moist, sweet, cake-like quick bread; however, there are some banana bread recipes that are traditional-style yeast breads.
History [edit]
Banana bread first became a standard feature of American cookbooks with the popularization of baking soda and baking powder in the 1930s, appeared in Pillsbury's 1933 Balanced Recipes cookbook,[2] and later gained more acceptance with the release of the original Chiquita Banana's Recipe Book in 1950.[3]
Variations [edit]
- Banana raisin bread
- Banana nut bread – chopped nuts, often walnuts or pecans, are added to the recipe.
- Chocolate chip banana bread – chocolate chips are added to the recipe.
