The key to amazing banana bread is to make it with soft, brown sugar. The stuff that is clumpy, glistening with moisture, reminiscent of molasses. It adds so much to the flavor. And actual nuts, of course.
Isn’t it reminiscent of molasses because brown sugar has molasses in it?
Yes, that is absolutely correct.
This makes me think you could use straight sorghum, or mix in some with brown sugar.
Also makes me want to try panela, unrefined whole cane sugar from Central and South America
I do in fact use unrefined, brown cane sugar, although I have not tried panela specifically.
The one I use pretty much looks like this:
It’s an organic fair trade brand, but I’d have to look up where it is imported from.
As I said, I can’t imagine making it with any other kind of sugar any more. Sorghum seems like an interesting idea, might have to experiment with that.

You can make banane flambée !
- Split the bananas length-wise as good as possible, they should split in 3.
- lay them done in a pan
- heat it until hot, no need to cook them too much
- sprinkle with powdered sugar
- prepare a
shitshot glass of brown rhum and some matches (or lighter) - pour the shot on the bananas and light it on fire !!! 🔥
- turn of the heat, let it extinguish buy itself
Et voilà ! You have delicious caramelized banana desert!
prepare a shit glass of brown […]
I… don’t think I will
Sometimes I just hate the autocorrect on my phone… I meant to write “shot glass of rhum”
All good, I was making a joke :P
I had to control my laugh during a meeting :D
I have a chest freezer in my garage full of bananas that begs to differ.
If your bananas have developed sentience and started to beg, you’ve left them too long!
I love banana bread, but hate fresh bananas, so I never buy any. I guess that’s one way to solve this problem… 😂
Some good ideas in here!
Don’t tell me what I do and don’t do
Haha, I took this post as motivation to finally use up those frozen bananas I had. Now I have banana bread muffins in my freezer instead. It’s a good upgrade if you ask me.
Finally! A use for my old bananas AND excess nut butter!
They’re totally edible
I always thought overripe bananas weren’t great for you. But apparently, they are good.
I estimate I make the banana bread 13-20% of the time.
Freeze them! Frozen banana is even better than fresh in milkshake.
Banana bread is super easy to make. The only reason i don’t make it more often is because it’s basically cake in disguise.
There is a snack called appam made with wheat/rice flour, which calls for overripe bananas. For this level of browned bananas, you probably don’t even need to add sugar seperately.
I like to make banana milk with those really brown bananas. In fact, I let them age just so they are nice and sweet.
I take 1 or 2 bananas, break them in chunks and put them in a measuring cup that holds around 1L, add a bit of vanilla extract, fill with milk to cover banana chunks, blend with a stick blender until smooth, fill milk to the top, blend a bit more just to mix everything, done. Serves one (me) or two (regular) people.
Let them spend some time in the freezer. There’s still a chance they could be used in pancakes or dog biscuits…
But I always make banana cake!!! Mmmmmm
