The Perfect Banana Bread
Now this recipe is special, real special. And, I consider it the perfect banana bread.
It is the creation of my dear cupcake goddess who’s blog ‘Something About Cupcakes’ is a resounding success and hit on Facebook. Her cupcakes aren’t just rogue cupcakes like I would make. Beverley’s cupcakes and other baked goods are masterpieces. They’re truly works of art. They’re little cups of love that you want just to look at, turn and rotate, and wonder in your mind, how in the world does she do it!
Banana Nut Bread Recipe
Since I love banana bread, and she does, too, we decided to make each others’ banana nut bread recipes. Beverley tried my ‘Chunky Banana Bread’ and, of course, I tried her traditional, tried and true, proven ‘English banana bread’. The only thing that I added to Beverley’s awesome recipe is the topping, which is optional. I was in the mood for a little crunch, and figured this was an easy way to get it to happen.
I call it English ‘banana bread’ because my luv, Beverley, lives in England and while we’ve never met in person, I feel like I know this wonderful girl very well. We’ve developed a strong and loving relationship over the years on Facebook talking to each other almost every single day. Always admiring each others’ work, we share in the everyday happenings of life, children, travels and just living. Food has a way of bringing people together regardless of whether you’re neighbors or not. Our virtual world of family connects us through mutual passions and interests!
Banana Bread Topping
To crunch or not to crunch. Should you do a banana bread topping. That is your choice with this amazingly easy and tasty English banana bread! When I say crunch, I’m talking about the topping that is optional that you can put on top when baking. It’s a simple step that uses a little more butter, brown sugar and chopped walnuts, all ingredients in the batter.

Delicious bread and so easy! Made it for a Christmas breakfast. Will make again.
Gay!!! Gracious sakes, you’ve made my day, luv! THANK YOU! Merrry Merreeeee Christmas! xoxx ally
Oh my gosh! I used to make banana bread all the time when my kids were little, then they grew up and I stopped making it. Maybe this recipe will get me to make it again because it looks so good and I can’t wait to try it.
Lynne! Oh, gosh I sure hope you do. Now, mine isn’t super sweet (just a hint), so if you want more sweetness use 1 cup rather than 3/4 cup. Hey, let those bananas ripen and make, luv! xox ally
Ally, made this on Saturday for my friend. I substituted two eggs with one egg and three quarters of a cup of applesauce. It was very good!
Maya! Great substitutions! I love applesauce, too. I added more nuts today and also about 1/2 cup of whipped cream cheese, just b/c I had it and wanted to get it gone!! ha ha! xoxx
