I'm well known for my Banana Bread Recipe. I was traveling as a nurse and could not find it among my things. I found this recipe, which was similar to mine. It is a recipe from Mrs Hockmeyer. Mrs Hockmeyer passed away years ago, but her simple but perfect Banana Bread Recipe lives on for us to enjoy. I adapted it to what is now considered by my co-workers and friends as the Best Darn Banana Bread Recipe. I'm always being asked for it.

How To Make banana bread recipe

  • 1
    No Need for a mixer for this recipe, however, I find it easier to use a Kitchen Aid.

    Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 3
    With a wooden spoon, mix butter*, into the mashed bananas** in a large mixing bowl.
  • 4
    Mix in the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla.
  • 5
    Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in.
  • 6
    Add the flour last and mix.
  • 7
    Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch*** loaf pan.
  • 8
    Mix Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Cloves together and sprinkle over top of loaves. (Can use just Pumpkin Spice)

    Bake for one hour.
  • 10
    Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve.

    * I melt butter in the microwave for convience. ** I use four bananas. It makes bread moist. *** I use the mini-loaf pans instead, cook for 30-40 minutes.
