Step by Step Photo Directions for Banana Bread
Below are photo directions on how to make the banana bread so you can quickly see how easy it is to assemble.
You don’t need to use a mixer to mash the bananas, but it sure makes the whole process simpler. Use a fork to mash the bananas if you don’t have a stand or hand mixer.
You do want to use Bread Flour and not All-Purpose Flour for this recipe. The bread flour helps increase the overall protein of the bread which helps give it more structure, helping it rise better. If you use all-purpose flour, you will have a denser bread. While it will still taste great the texture will not be ideal.

Notes
- Neutral oils that work great are avocado oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, vegetable oil
- Over stirring or too much mixing will lead to a tougher, chewier bread. To keep it soft and slightly crumbly, mix only to combine.
