Banana Bread Recipe Brown And White Sugar
This Easy Banana Bread Recipe with Brown and White Sugar creates a moist, flavorful loaf with the perfect balance of sweetness and texture. The combination of white sugar for structure and brown sugar for rich, caramel-like depth enhances both taste and moisture.
Equipment
- Mixing bowls One for wet ingredients and one for dry ingredients.
- Whisk or Hand Mixer For mixing the wet ingredients smoothly.
- Fork or Potato Masher To mash the ripe bananas.
- Spatula or Wooden Spoon For gently combining wet and dry ingredients.
- Measuring cups and spoons To measure ingredients accurately.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Mash bananas in a bowl, then mix in melted butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla.
- Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in another bowl.
- Mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined (do not overmix).
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean; cool before slicing.
Notes
- Use Overripe Bananas – The more brown spots, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Avoid green or barely ripe bananas.
- Don’t Overmix the Batter – Stir until just combined; overmixing can lead to dense and tough banana bread.
- Measure Ingredients Accurately – Use leveled measuring cups for flour and sugars to maintain the right texture.
- Check for Doneness – Insert a toothpick in the center at 50 minutes; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it’s done. Overbaking can make the bread dry.
- Cool Before Slicing – Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for best texture.
- Store Properly – Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or an airtight container. Stays fresh for 3 days at room temp, 1 week in the fridge, or up to 3 months frozen.
- Customize It! – Add chocolate chips, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top before baking for extra flavor.
