Ingredients

• Sugars: granulated and brown sugars sweeten the loaf; brown adds a hint of molasses taste.
• Flour: a key carb source that builds structure and makes the loaf soft yet hearty.

FAQ

Tiktok Banana Bread Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you don’t have eggs, try using 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce instead (use 1/4 cup for each egg) to help keep the bread moist.
• If you want to swap out the melted butter, you can use the same amount of coconut oil. It adds a subtle tropical flavour without messing up the texture.
• For the sugars, you can replace the granulated and brown sugars with honey or maple syrup. Just keep in mind that since they are liquid you’ll need to slightly reduce the other liquids to keep the dough balanced.
• If you dont have all-purpose flour, you can mix in some whole wheat flour. A half and half blend gives a nuttier taste though it might make the bread a bit denser.
• If nuts arent your thing or you have an allergy, try substituting the walnuts or pecans with pumpkin seeds for a crunchy twist.

Pro Tips

Pro tip 1: Make sure your bananas are really ripe and mushy enough before you mix. Overripe helps add more natural sweetness and flavor to the bread, so don’t be afraid to use bananas that are already a bit spotty.

Pro tip 2: When mixing the wet and dry ingredients, don’t over stir. It really matters cause overmixing can lead to a tough bread instead of a nice, moist loaf so fold everything in just until you dont see dry flour anymore.

Pro tip 3: Always check your oven temp with an oven thermometer. Sometimes the dial can be off and that can make a huge difference in how evenly your bread bakes.

Pro tip 4: Let your banana bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before moving it to the rack. This little rest helps it settle a bit, preventing it from crumbling when you try to take it out.
