One of the most popular recipes on my blog….and in this house is my banana bread. It never lets me down and is always a winner. So here it is………………..a version for the thermomix owners and a good old school recipe card too! Enjoy……I feel like some right now. To make a gluten free version use a cup for cup substitute like White Wings GF flour or Woolworths Macro GF flour and leave to cool before slicing. Cardinal rule of baking with gluten free flour if you ask me

Serves: 8
What you'll need
- 2 large bananas, roughly chopped
- 125g butter, cubed
- 1Tbsp vanilla essence/extract
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1½ cups plain flour (you can use SR flour and just leave out the baking powder)
- 2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170 degrees.
- Place butter into TM bowl and melt by processing for 2 minutes on 100 degrees and speed 2. Add in banana and process for 10 seconds on speed 4 to mash it all up.
- Add in vanilla, milk, eggs and sugar and process for 20 seconds on speed 4.
- Scrape down sides of bowl once inbetween mixing.
- Now add in sifted flour and baking powder and process for 15 seconds until combined.
- You don’t want to overdo it but you do want everything combined. Scrape down sides of bowl once inbetween too as flour tends to rise up the sides when you first add it in.
- Pour into a lined loaf tin and bake for about 1 hour - 1 hour and 15 minutes in a 170 degrees oven until a knife comes out clean.
Love banana bread! I will have to try your recipe, it looks yummy.:)
Banana bread is the best and always gets eaten here. Always handy to pop in the freezer as well, if it lasts that long though!
Corrie this looks delicious, thinking it may become the kidlets homemade sweet lunchbox treat for the last week of term 3! Have a gorgeous weekend xx
The cake looks so yummy! May I know for step 5 the processing of 15 seconds is on speed 4 as well?
Would like to try this recipe soon! Thanks!
Hi Corrie. I have just put the TM one in the oven! Is there a specific reason why there is maple syrup in one but vanilla in the other? Thanks. Nerine
haha thanks for letting me know, I’ll have to fix that up:)
Hi, can you please confirm got the thermomix recipe if it if maple syrup or vanilla extract?
you can use either, I just use what is to hand. if you don’t have vanilla then use maple:)
I’ve tried many Banana Bread recipes over the years but this is the best.Thank you.
I just made this thank you Corrie this is so yummy and so easy. its going to become a regular in our house.
I’ve just tried making it with gluten free flour. It’s in the oven, fingers crossed!!
Yum!! Just made the lactose and gluten free version (substituted for lactose free milk and gluten free plain flour – the baking powder I used was also gluten free by default). May have been a bit more dense than the regular version (I wouldn’t know) but was still delicious!! Will definitely be making this again, thank you for sharing this recipe
Have uploaded a photo of my version.
Yum, thanks Corrie. I made this two days ago with wholemeal spelt flour, and reduced the sugar amount slightly (about 4/5 of a cup). Also I didn’t see the maple syrup option so didn’t put that in but it was so yummy and moist. The spelt flour lent a lovely nuttiness to the taste and I will make it exactly the same next time. Certainly was sweet enough for our tastes. I had another slice today and it is as good as the first day. A great recipe.
I made this again today and took care to note that the final mix is at the 1 litre mark in the thermomix. So it should be possible to fit a double batch in one go, although it may be necessary to mix a bit slower to ensure it doesn’t spill out the top.
Wow!! This bread is phenomenal. So moist & dense & lovely. I added walnuts & 1/2 tsp cinnamon & only used self raising flour.
Thank you for sharing!
Tried and tested! The best!!!
Hi I am making this now, didn’t realise the TM was under the first instructions I did vanilla and syrup ? fingers crossed it tastes good for my twins lunch.
I used 3 tblspn maple syrup and 1 tblspn vanilla and NO sugar and gluten free SR flour…..tasted amazing
Hi, I would like to know where you can buy a Thermomix?
You can buy via your local consultant. Check out the website.
Could you reduce the amount of sugar at all? Would it still work?
yep, I’ve left the sugar out before or use a good dash of maple syrup.
How much is 125g butter?..
125 grams of butter is also 1/2 a cup. Hope that helps
Corrie:)
Went with the Thermomix (TM31), gluten free option and used both vanilla and maple syrup, processed on speed 4. Dont know if I did it right but the kids (4 to 15yrs) said it was the best banana bread ever! Thank you very much.
This bread NEVER fails even when I tweak the amount of sugar/use substitutions. Thank you for sharing this go to recipe at our house.
I used 2/3 cup of caster sugar but kept everything else the same. Family loved it! Thanks!
How much is a cup? with TM easier to have grams and not used to use cups. Thanks!
Have always made banana bread and it’s always been great but once I used this recipe, everyone thought it was amazing !
Such a beautiful result
Christ on a bike! Just made this & did the double on the flavours (maple & vanilla! A tasty mistake) & holy moley it’s good! Oh and went gluten free with it as well! Tis a perfect recipe. Thanks a million. Would be amazing if Cookidoo uploaded this recipe. How does that happen I wonder? Xxx
Hi! Just wanted to make sure that 170 degrees is Celsius and not Fahrenheit.
yes all my recipes are Celsius
hope that helps
Can I use honey and applesauce instead of sugar and butter
Just tried this recipe, so easy and it turned out absolutely delicious. Even my son who hates bananas and gags on them, loved this banana bread.
I reduced the sugar but added some chocolate chips.
my mum (Olivia) has been using this recipe for years and it always tastes fantastic and much better then the shops. I always thought she had a magic touch but really it was your recipe thanks so much for this amazing recipe!
I just made it this morning and it was delicious- I used also GF self raising flour and 4 Tbs maple syrup and no sugar. It was really good ! Thank you so much for a great recipe
oh that’s great to hear! I love adding maple syrup into recipes, so glad it worked out!
Hi salted or unsalted butter?. Making GF version, no sugar, I will go the 3 maple and 1vanilla
