    can you make moist banana bread from 3 bananas?

    The answer is yes! It is simply possible to make amazingly delicious, easy and moist banana bread using just three ripe or over ripe leftover bananas!

    I used 3 over ripe bananas in this recipe which ensures the texture of the bread is super moist, soft and delicious. If you don't have over ripe banans, you may wait for a couple of days to let the bananas ripen a little bit more or if you are in a hurry it is fine to use ripe bananas which will work just fine.

    This is also an easy banana loaf recipe since we use the loaf pan to make the quick banana bread. There are 105 calories in a banana which is medium sized, so since we are using 3 medium sized bananas, the calories from bananas alone will be 315. But the natural sweetness is a good source of and perfect for breads!

    You may also use a cake pan to bake the banana bread if you wish, the results will be still good. The fruit based breads that we make using baking soda or baking powder is sometimes referred to as quick breads as we do not use yeast in such bread recipes (yeast recipes usually takes much longer).

    Eventhough this is an easy recipe for banana bread from scratch, it still takes the baking time of 45 minutes plus the time taken to make the bread batter and also the final cooling time. Banana breads are the most popular and easy quick breads you can make at home from scratch. Most of us usually end up with some overripe browned bananas at times and the perfect solution for the overripe bananas is to make easy quick banana breads.

    You can store banana bread properly wrapped in bread bags or place them in air tight containers in refrigerator, where it stays fresh for another 4 to 5 days at least. When you need to serve the bread, you can reheat the bread slices in microwave oven easily using a microwave safe plate (just a few seconds like about 30 seconds should be enough).

    You may also freeze the bread in the freezer for even longer storage using freezer safe bags or containers.

      Is the flour in this recipe self-rising or plain?

        Hi, what I have used here is plain all purpose flour. If you use self rising flour instead, you can skip the baking soda. Hope this helps. Thank you.
