Instructions – Bread Machine – Basic|Rapid – 2lb Loaf – Dark Color
 Prep Time – 10 minutes

 Baking Time – 1:40 hours
 Bread Machine Settings – Basic|Rapid Bread, Dark Color, 2 lb
 Beat the eggs.
 Mash bananas with a fork.
 Soften the butter in microwave.
 Pour the milk into the bread pan and then add the other ingredients. Try to follow the order of
the ingredients listed above so that liquid ingredients are placed in the bread pan first and the
dry ingredients second. Be aware that the bread pan should be removed from the bread machine
before you start to add any ingredients. This helps to avoid spilling any material inside the bread
machine.
 Put the bread pan (with all of the ingredients) back into the bread machine and close the bread
machine lid.
 Start the machine after checking the settings (i.e. make sure it is on the quick bread setting).
 When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine, remove the
bread pan and place it on a wooden cutting board. Let the bread stay within the bread pan
(bread loaf container) for 10 minutes before you remove it from the bread pan. Use oven mitts
when removing the bread pan because it will be very hot!
 After removing the bread from the bread pan, place the bread on a cooling rack. Use oven mitts
when removing the bread.
 Don’t forget to remove the mixing paddle if it is stuck in the bread. Use oven mitts as the mixing
paddle could be hot.
 You should allow the banana bread to completely cool before cutting. This can take up to 2
hours. Otherwise, the banana bread will break (crumble) more easily when cut.

Tips – Bread Machine – Basic|Rapid – 2lb Loaf – Dark Color
 The tips below are designed to help bread machine “novices” and those who haven’t touched
their bread machine in years.
 Try to use medium sized bananas. The use of 3 large bananas can make the mixture too wet.
 If you use unripe green or hard yellow bananas, your banana bread might not be as tasty. Unripe
bananas have more starch and less sugar than ripe bananas. The natural sweetness of ripe
bananas works best for bread machine banana bread recipes.
 Make sure to use the QUICK BREAD setting on your bread machine. This setting is designed
for bread recipes that use baking soda/powder versus yeast.
 Don’t be fooled by setting names like Quick, Rapid or Express (as these settings are often used
for very rapid baking and are not used for quick breads). They will leave your banana bread
undercooked. For example, on my Sunbeam, the Quick Bread setting lasts for 1:40 hours versus
the Express setting which lasts for 58 minutes. However, be aware that setting names can vary
by bread machine manufacturer. Therefore, you must check your bread machine’s
instructions/manual for the exact setting used for quick breads (bread recipes that
use baking soda/powder) on your bread machine.
 Moreover, in many bread machines, the “sweet bread” setting is for very sweet breads that use
yeast (not baking soda/powder). Sweet bread recipes are different from quick bread recipes and
utilize different mixing & baking times. A bread machine quick bread recipe is unlikely to work
on the sweet bread setting. Check your bread machine instructions for the exact setting used for
quick bread recipes (that utilize baking soda/powder).
 Be aware that some basic bread machines have only a very limited number of settings and may
not have a quick bread setting.
 After the first mixing cycle has fully stopped (and before the second mixing cycle has begun), I
often scrape the sides of the bread pan with a flexible silicon spatula (not a metal spatula). This
loosens any flour that may be sticking to the sides of the bread pan. For safety purposes, I do not
scrape the sides of the bread pan when the mixing blade is moving. In addition, people should
not stick their hands inside bread machines. Moreover, people should always wear oven mitts
when dealing with a bread machine because the interior can get quite hot.
 You need to leave the bread in the bread loaf container for 10 minutes after you take it out of the
bread machine. Denser quick breads take a little longer for the interior dough to be fully baked.
 If the top center of the bread looks too moist when you take it out of the bread
machine, please try the “toothpick test”. Gently push a toothpick into the top of the bread
and see if any batter sticks to the toothpick. If batter is sticking to the toothpick then it hasn’t
completely cooked. Place the bread loaf pan back into the still warm bread machine for another
5-10 minutes. Make sure to wear oven gloves because the bread pan and bread machine will still
be hot. After the 5-10 minutes, remove the bread pan and test the banana bread again with a
tooth pick. FYI – Depending on the type of bread machine utilized, banana breads occasionally
can be too moist especially if the ingredient measurements are not followed exactly.
 Be careful when removing the banana bread from the bread loaf pan. Banana breads are much
softer than sandwich-type bread loaves. Therefore, they can break or “dent” more easily when
you remove them from the bread loaf pan. When removing the bread, you should be careful not
to let the handle of the bread pan damage the bread.
 If you have a problem with a banana bread recipe, please make sure that you are following the
recipe exactly. You will need to make sure that you are inputting the correct bread machine
settings, using the exact ingredient measurements (i.e. don’t eyeball the measurements versus
using a measuring cup), using the exact ingredients called for in the recipe (i.e. baking
soda/powder versus yeast or all purpose flour versus bread flour), etc. Please don’t “wing” things
with recipes unless you are willing to live with your experiments!
 In addition, you should try to use relatively fresh baking soda & powder for the best results. For
example, using baking soda from an open container (that has been deodorizing your refrigerator
for months) may lead to subpar results. Old & hard baking powder/soda may lead to rising
problems and/or leave small bitter clumps in your bread.
 Please read the instructions/manual included with your bread machine in order to use it safely
and effectively. Recipe instructions & settings may differ slightly depending on the brand &
model of bread machine utilized.
Steps to Make It
1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Add eggs, butter, milk, and bananas to the bread pan and set aside.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients
4. Mix well and add to the bread pan.

5. Use the setting for quick bread (or equivalent) for your machine. When it's done
baking, remove the pan from the machine. Let the bread sit for about 10
minutes, then remove it from the pan and set the loaf on a wire rack to finish
cooling.
6. Enjoy.
