My kids love it for breakfast or as an after school snack and I love how easy it is to throw together. The bread machine does all the work so I can get other things done while it bakes. This loaf comes out moist and full of banana flavor without being too sweet. It is a great way to use up ripe bananas and it makes the whole house smell amazing. Plus bananas are a good source of potassium and fiber so I feel a little better about my family eating it.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Bread Maker Banana Loaf
1. Can I use whole wheat flour in this recipe?
Yes you can substitute up to half of the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour. The loaf will be denser and have a slightly nuttier flavor. For the best texture, try using white whole wheat flour.
2. Why is my banana loaf dry or crumbly?
This can happen if you use too much flour or not enough banana. Make sure to measure your flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off. Also use bananas that are very ripe and soft as they add moisture.
3. Can I add nuts or chocolate chips?
Absolutely. Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips after adding the dry ingredients. The bread machine will mix them in during the kneading cycle.
4. How do I store the banana loaf?
Store the cooled loaf in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. It will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze it for up to 3 months.
5. Can I make this recipe without a bread machine?
Yes. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the batter into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
