O Que Você Precisa Saber
- The peel of a ripe banana concentrates pectin and soluble fibers that retain extraordinary moisture in the baked cake crumb. - The vigorous grinding of the shells with the softened butter and eggs in the blender breaks down any visible coarse fiber. - The quick mixing of the sifted dry ingredients just until incorporated prevents gluten development, maintaining tender softness.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2-3 unidades (aproximadamente 300g) Bananas maduras (com casca)
- 2 cups (240g) All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 1/2 cup (115g), at room temperature Unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200g) Brown sugar
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60ml) Plain yogurt or buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Instructions
1
Pré-aqueça o forno a 180°C (350°F). Carefully grease and flour a loaf pan (approximately 23x13 cm) to prevent the batter from sticking.
2
Lave bem as bananas (com casca) em água corrente. Corte as pontas e pique as bananas (fruta e casca) em pedaços menores, facilitando o processo no liquidificador. É crucial para o processamento uniforme.
3
In the blender, combine the chopped bananas, room temperature butter, brown sugar, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Beat until you get a homogeneous mixture and the peels are well incorporated. The short answer is: process until creamy.
4
In a large bowl, sift the wheat flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix vigorously with a wire whisk to combine and aerate the dry ingredients evenly.
5
Add the liquid mixture from the blender to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula, just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. The secret to this recipe is not to overmix, so as not to develop the gluten and keep the bread soft.
6
Pour the batter carefully into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. If desired, garnish with thin slices of banana or chopped nuts on top before baking.
7
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. The cooking time may vary according to the oven, so the most important tip is to monitor after 45 minutes.
8
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before unmolding. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The most common mistake is unmolding while too hot, causing it to collapse.

Chef Tips
- Use bananas with very ripe skins spotted with black, sanitizing with a small brush under running water before chopping.
- Discard only the hard black tips at the end of the bananas before cutting the peels into rounds for blending.
- Bake in a loaf pan lined with parchment paper to unmold the moist bread easily without risks of breaking.
Variations
- Add half a cup of coarsely chopped walnuts or Brazil nuts to the dough to create points of crunchy chewiness. - Incorporate 70% bittersweet chocolate chips floured before pouring the dough into the pan for a truffled touch. - Decorate the top with a peeled banana cut in half lengthwise sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon.
Substitutions
- Brown sugar can be replaced by crushed demerara sugar or coconut sugar maintaining the weight of 200g. - Unsalted butter can be replaced by flavorless coconut oil or sunflower oil in the same volumetric proportion. - Plain yogurt can be replaced with whole milk mixed with a teaspoon of lemon juice (buttermilk).
How to Store
Store in a closed container or wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 4 days, preserving its dense softness.
Can You Freeze It?
Freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 3 months. Thaw in the toaster or conventional oven for 5 minutes.
What to Serve With
Serve warm with high-quality butter with sea salt flakes, creamy natural peanut butter, or a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the bread taste astringent or bitter because of the banana peel?
No; when the banana is ripe with brown spots, the starch in the peel has converted into sugars, providing a soft texture and flavor.
Why use baking soda instead of regular baking powder?
The baking soda reacts directly with the acids in the brown sugar and yogurt, providing correct aeration and classic dark coloring.
Does any type of banana work to make with the peel?
Nanica (caturra) or Prata bananas that are very ripe and preferably organically grown are the most recommended for this recipe.
How do I test if the banana bread is fully baked in the center?
Insert a long toothpick into the center of the dough: it should come out clean and dry, with no sticky raw batter residue, at around 55 minutes.
