Banana Butter Bread

Mar 23, 2017 · 23 Comments

Treat yourself to this Banana Butter Bread made with wholesome natural ingredients! Perfect in the morning with marmalade or for dessert with a cup of coffee.

They say the best things come when you least expect them. They also say necessity is the mother of invention.

You’re probably wondering how these two sentiments are connected…enter this rich but not heavy, Banana Butter Bread.

If you were to ask me what my greatest pet peeve is, I would tell you it’s letting food go to waste. So much so, that if I’m watching a cooking show and see the bowl isn’t scraped clean, I’ll be too distracted to enjoy the rest of the program.

In short, I try to only buy what I need and to make sure I use it up before I head out to the store again. Of course I’m not perfect so sometimes there are things that don’t always get used right away like that bunch of overripe bananas in the fruit bowl…

Banana bread was probably invented specifically for the purpose of never letting another banana go to waste. I made that up on the whim. It’s most likely NOT how banana bread came to be, but nowadays, it’s the common purpose for forgotten banana bunches. Don’t you agree?

One thing I do love about having banana bread in the house during the week is that it’s multi-purpose- slightly toasted in the morning with a spread of marmalade, a light brunch in the afternoon, or even for dessert with a scoop of Very Vanilla frozen yogurt.

Another factor I love about this recipe is how convenient it is to make. Every ingredient is a pantry staple and therefore it’s easy to make whenever you have too many bananas on hand or just craving a slice.

I prepped this recipe with organic all purpose flour, grass-fed butter, and cage free organic eggs. If you want to go the extra step, sprinkle coconut sugar on the top. It’s a delicious all-natural treat that has quickly become a favorite of mine.

    Catherine, Banana bread is a winner in our house! Also, everything is better with more butter... Another use for overripe bananas in our house is to slice them up and sprinkle the pieces with Swiss Miss cocoa mix or cinnamon sugar. Then put them in the freezer and have them anytime for a relatively healthy treat. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    I really like zucchini bread I think it sort of tastes like banana bread. Have you ever tried any of that?

    Banana Bread really is heaven and so satisfying when it means you can use up old bananas in an extremely delicious way. Sometimes, I let my bananas get old just so I can make it!

    Banana bread and zucchini bread are my absolute favourite as both of them turn out very moist and delicious. I recently made a few jars of marmalade, now I know what to do with them ;)

    What a beautiful, crackle top loaf. I love the idea of coconut sugar sprinkled on top. Wish I was having a slice of this with you on this cold dreary March day. Where is spring? Things are a little crazy around here as we are moving across town. The pictures are off the walls and there are boxes everywhere. Wish I was having a cup of tea and a slice of this delicious bread with orange marmalade to give me energy for all that lies ahead. Have a wonderful day my friends! XO
