Pro Tips

What is the difference between banana bread and banana cake?

While a banana cake is made like a butter cake but with the addition of mashed banana, this Easy Banana Bread is firmer (it’s perfect for slicing and serving for breakfast or brunch!) 

Is “Why is my banana bread not fluffy?” a question you keep repeating to yourself? 

Then you’re overmixing the batter. For the banana bread to be tender, remember to always gently stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture.
