If you’re after a Banana Bread Thermomix recipe that is quick and simple, look no further.

We’ve been making this Banana Bread Thermomix recipe for years and it’s completely no fail.  It’s also the perfect base to change up your Banana Bread depending on your mood.

Now whenever you have a few bananas that aren’t at their best, don’t throw them away.  Instead make a loaf of this Banana Bread.

What do we love about this Banana Bread Thermomix Recipe?

  1. It’s tried and tested.  We’ve been making this recipe for years and it’s foolproof.
  2. It’s versatile. Feel free to add a handful of walnuts to the mix or a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top.
  3. You can hide veges inside this Banana Bread! Finely grate a cup of zucchini or carrot and add it to the mix.  No one will ever know.
  4. It freezes perfectly.  Better yet, freeze individual slices and lunchboxes are taken care of in a flash.
  5. Everyone loves it! From toddlers to your Mum when she pops in for a coffee, this recipe is the bomb.

A few tips for making this Banana Bread Thermomix Recipe.

  • Allow the butter to completely soften at room temperature – it will distribute more evenly
  • Feel free to reduce the amount of sugar – this recipe is quite sweet so you can easily adjust with no effect on the texture
  • Allow the loaf to cool in the tin for at least 15 – 20 minutes before turning out to maintain shape
  • Store in a sealed container in the fridge and the loaf should last 4 – 5 days
  • If you like your banana bread toasted, go for a thicker slice.  Have some bamboo tongs on hand to help remove from the toaster.

When making banana bread, you really can use any type of banana.  Cavendish, lady finger, red tipped or organic.  We think the trick is allowing the bananas to become quite ripe but not too ripe.  If you can smell the banana when held at arms length, we feel this is a little too far gone and the flavour changes.  A good guide is if the banana gives easily when you press the tip in towards the banana.

If you don’t have time to make this Banana Bread Thermomix recipe on the day the bananas are at their prime, here’s a tip.  Peel the bananas, break them into chunks and seal in a ziplock bag.  Pop into the freezer.  On the day you are ready to bake, bring the bananas out of the freezer 15 minutes before you need them and use in the same way as fresh bananas.

  • Banana bread is one of my favourite snacks to make. I don’t own a theromix but have borrowed a friends and this banana bread is one of the best banana breads i have tried. It is so delicious, soft, moist and full of flavour. I love how easy it is to prepare as well.
