About this dish
Banana bread is a type of sweet bread or cake made from mashed bananas. Banana bread is typically classified as a quick bread, relying on chemical leavening agents such as baking soda or baking powder rather than yeast, which allows it to be prepared without fermentation. It is often a moist and sweet quick bread, but some recipes are yeast raised. Its sweet taste and slightly crumbly texture make it more akin to a tea cake or muffin than bread. The use of overripe bananas is common, as their increased sugar content and softer texture contribute to the bread’s characteristic sweetness and moist crumb.
