I logged into Answer the Public recently and typed the words “banana bread” into the search bars. According to this free research tool, 119 questions have been asked online about banana bread. One of the most commonly asked questions was “How is banana bread made?” … Read on and let me tell you.

If you’re a fan of banana bread you might also like my wholemeal banana loaf, my oaty banana loaf or my banana and blueberry loaf. The later is my ultimate preference. Easy Food Magazine have an amazing selection of banana bread recipes which I recommend you check out too.

Hope you enjoy!
