BEST BANANA BREAD RECIPE EVER
BEST BANANA BREAD RECIPE EVER. 😀 A great way to use up ripe banana’s too.
Aoa fauzia, i baked the
Aoa fauzia, i baked the banana bread today, it turned quite a dark color inside out although it tasted yummy. Can you please tell me where i went wrong?

Did you bake immediately
Did you bake immediately after mashing the bananas and using them in the batter? When bananas sit for long once they are peeled, they will change colour. You need to be fast and bake the loaf right away.
Can i replace white sugat with brown sugar? How many gms of butter i shal melt to get 1/3rd cup of melted butter
Start with about 80 gm, melt and then measure. You can then adjust accordingly.

W/Salaam, thanks. Sorry to know about the mistake with the cake! Do this, slice it up and place the slices on a tray then bake it until it’s fully done. It will not really be a soft spongey cake as it should be but at least you will have some nice toasted slices of banana bread to have with a cup of tea. 🙂

thanks 🙂
Hi, thank you! There are many
Hi, thank you! There are many reasons why a cake would sink in the middle, pls have a look through my tips section for the note titled cake mistakes..find out why. I would not recommend using apples in place of bananas for this recipe as the two fruits have very different consistencies.
Hi Fauzia, could you give me
Hi Fauzia, could you give me the measurement of mashed bananas in cups please. Im not sure which bananas u used, the big or small. Thanks in advance
Hi, I actually have never
Hi, I actually have never measured the amount in a cup but I use medium sized bananas. If you are using large ones, you can use just 2.
Hello fauzia thank u so much
Hello fauzia thank u so much for sharing ur wonderfull recepies …fauzia plz guide me what paper we use for lining our baking sheet ..as i m confised too much what to do as when ever i try my cookies and bread gets hard dark n black at bottom ..so kindly help me ..some one told me use butter paper some one tells me parchment paper …
Hi, parchment paper is just
Hi, parchment paper is just the same thing as butter paper. Lining the cake pan with it will help prevent the cake from sticking to the bottom of the pan but it does nothing for burning. That means that maybe your oven runs too hot from the bottom.

Yes you can, just double all
Yes you can, just double all the ingredients. However split the batter in half and bake in two loaf pans to ensure they are cooked through as a larger loaf might not bake as well.

Tried this yesterday and it turned out amazing! Absolutely delicious and dense! Just like the one in your picture ❤
JazakAllahu Khairan 🙂
As Salaamu Allaikum,
I like really like your page. Masha’Allah it’s a great thing that you’re doing. I just had this doubt could you please help me I really want to try this banana bread but I can I use baking powder instead of baking soda can you give me the correct measurements please?
W/Salaam, thank you. For this recipe the baking soda is important and it cannot be substituted with baking powder as they both have different functions in a recipe.
Absolutely delicious and foolproof. Thanks Fauzia. Everyone enjoyed it!
