Amy'S Yummy Banana Bread (Bread Machine) Recipe

Name: Amy'S Yummy Banana Bread (Bread Machine)
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 very ripe bananas, well mashed; 1/4 cup sugar; 1/3 cup butter; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 2 1/2 cups bread mix or 2 1/2 cups flour; 1/2 cup water; 1 teaspoon yeast, heaped; optional; 1/2 cup pecans (optional); 1/2 cup sultana (optional)

Servings: persons

1
Mash the bananas, and mix mashed bananas with butter, sugar and cinnamon.
2
Add all ingredients to bread machine pan in the order the manufacturer tells you to do so.
3
Turn bread machine on - use the 'sweet' cycle if yours has one. If not, you will need to watch out that the bread doesn't burn at the end.
4
Keep an eye on the dough as it's mixing - if it looks too sticky (it sometimes does), try adding a tablespoon of flour at a time til it looks right. Don't add more than this at a time, otherwise it may be too much!
5
If using, add the pecans and/or sultanas when the beeper sounds.
6
This recipe will never make a full size loaf for many bread machines, so don't worry if it doesn't look 'full'. If I want mine to rise a bit more I just turn the machine off just before it should bake for an extra 20 mins or so, then turn it back on and set it to 'bake only' for 40 minutes.
7
Check the bread after about 40 mins of baking - my bread maker has a tendency to burn this loaf if left in for longer than this.
8
Enjoy fresh and warm, cold, or toasted, with plenty of butter!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
