Banana Bread

Cultural Context

Banana bread is a popular quick bread that originated in the United States during the Great Depression. It became a staple in American households due to its simplicity and the ability to use overripe bananas that might otherwise go to waste. Today, it is enjoyed as a snack or dessert and can be found in various adaptations, including nut and chocolate chip variations.

In a separate bowl, mix together the sifted flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Peel the bananas and mash them until smooth, using a potato masher for ease.

Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, followed by half of the mashed bananas, and mix until just combined.

8

Repeat the process with the remaining dry ingredients and bananas, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
