Instructions

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a mini loaf pan, line with parchment paper sling (optional), and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mash the banana and whisk in the egg until well-combined. Pour banana mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just-combined.
  4. Add melted butter, and mix until butter is incorporated into the batter. Don’t over mix, but there should not be pools of butter remaining around the edges of the batter.
  5. Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan, leaving ¾ inch of space from the top of the pan (discard extra batter if there is too much).

Optional Cinnamon Sugar Crust

  1. In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter.

Bake

  1. Bake for 30 to 38 minutes, until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  2. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before removing and slicing.
  3. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • *If using unsalted butter, use 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • For muffins, bake at the same temperature for 17 to 22 minutes. This recipe will make 5 to 6 regular-size muffins. 
  • Store bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days.
