An easy to make bread. With staple ingredients, you can make this moist banana bread.

One of our neighbors came to visit the other day and we started talking about baking.

She was saying how much she would like to learn to bake some banana bread. I gave her this recipe and I just happened to have lots of very sad looking bananas, so gave her some of those too.

Talking about banana bread made me want to make a batch for us and I decided to update this post too. So the new pictures are up. I hope you enjoy it!

ingredients for moist banana bread

Whenever I share this banana bread here in Paraguay and people ask what is this called, I say banana bread, but the bread in Paraguay is not sweet, so they always correct me saying that this is a banana cake.

Sometimes you can find something similar at the bakeries and they called it “budín” (pudding) and in other countries, “queques”.

This banana bread can be made with butter or oil. When using butter, you get a more dense-cake like texture; oil makes it lighter.

eggs, bananas, oil in a bowl

In a large bowl, mix well the mashed bananas, oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.

flour, cinnamon, cloves in a bowl

In another bowl add flour, baking powder if you are using it, cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg.

    There is no way this bread is done in 30 minutes! The top felt firm but the bread was undone. Most banana bread recipes call for 50 min to more than an hour. I thought perhaps the self riding flour made a difference so I trusted the recipe unfortunately. What a waste of ingredients. Very dissspointed.

      Hola María. La harina absorbe líquidos de diferentes formas. Puede ser que la tuya absorbe más de la que yo usé para hacer la receta.
      Si te animas a probarla otra vez, puedes agregarle una banana más o unas 3 a 4 cucharadas de leche.
      La miga de estos panes es suave, pero mas pesadita que la de los pasteles.

    Hola, aqui en la cuarentena estoy haciendo esta receta. Como no tenia pasas utilizes nueces y otras frutillas. Por lo menos el olor es muy agradable. Aún en el horno.
    Me luce una receta muy fácil de seguir. Solo que le tuve que dar más tiempo.

    Así mismo Angélica. Mientras más madura la banana, mucho mejor! Suelo poner nuez mariposa, pero a mis hijos no les gusta tanto. Lo hago así para ocasiones especiales. 😊

    Hola Lizet! Me encanta el pan o bizcocho de banana, y lo mejor es usar las que ya están negras que tu piensas que ya necesitas tirar, porque son las mas dulces y la mezcla queda mejor. También me gusta agregarle algunas nueces para tener algo de textura.
    Muy rica se ve tu receta.
    Abrazos!
