Ingredients
8 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (softened)
2 Eggs (lightly beaten)
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
3 Bananas (ripe & medium-sized bananas)
1 Cup Light Brown Sugar (packed cup)
2 Cups Flour (all-purpose)
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder (aluminum free)
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
3/4 Cup Chopped Walnuts or MINI Chocolate Chips (optional)

Instructions
1. Prep Time – 10 minutes
2. Baking Time – 1:40 hours
3. Bread Machine Settings – Sweet Quick Bread, Light Color, 2 lb
4. Beat the eggs.
5. Mash bananas with a fork.
6. Soften the butter in microwave.
7. Add the eggs, butter & bananas into the bread pan and then add the other ingredients. Try to
follow order of the ingredients listed above so that liquid ingredients are placed in the bread
pan first and the dry ingredients second. Be aware that the bread pan should be removed
from the bread machine before you start to add any ingredients. This helps to avoid spilling
any material inside the bread machine. The bread machine should always be unplugged when
removing the bread pan.
 8. Put the bread pan (with all of the ingredients) back into the bread machine, close the bread
machine lid and then plug in the bread machine.
9. Enter the bread machine settings (Sweet Quick Bread, Light Color) and press the start button.
FYI - Before making this recipe, please read the tips section below for more information
regarding the sweet quick bread setting used to make banana breads. This setting can be very
confusing on some bread machines... but the tips section below will help you to find the right
setting to use on your machine. You need to enter the correct banana bread setting used by your
SPECIFIC bread machine model or the banana bread could be under or over cooked.
10. Optional - If you want to add chopped walnuts or mini chocolate chips to enhance this basic
banana bread recipe, please add them after the first bread machine mixing cycle and before
the second mixing (final mixing).
11. When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine, remove
the bread pan and place it on a wooden cutting board. Use oven mitts when removing the
bread pan because it will be very hot!
12. Optional - Use a long wooden skewer to test if the banana bread is completely cooked. Wear
oven mitts as the bread pan will be hot. See the tips section for more details on this classic
"toothpick" test.
13. After removing the bread pan from the bread machine, you should let the banana bread stay
within the warm bread pan on a wooden cutting board for 10 minutes (as this finishes the
baking process) before you remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Wear oven mitts.
14. After 10 the minute "cooldown", you should remove the banana bread from the bread pan and
place the banana bread on a wire cooling rack to finish cooling. Use oven mitts when
removing the bread.
15. Don’t forget to remove the mixing paddle if it is stuck in the bread. Use oven mitts as the
mixing paddle could be hot.
16. You should allow the banana bread to completely cool before cutting. This can take up to 2
hours. Otherwise, the banana bread will break (crumble) more easily when cut.
