Banana Bread Thermomix

This Banana Bread Thermomix recipe is so quick and easy you can happily bake up a loaf every week.

The best thing about making banana bread in the Thermomix is that it literally takes minutes to prepare the cake batter, and it never fails.

My daughter claims this is the best banana bread in the world. I'm not sure I can claim that, but I can promise that it is light and fluffy and oh so delicious.

My kids could literally eat the entire loaf in one sitting if I would let them!

Banana bread is perfect for school lunch boxes and after school snacks.

Banana Bread Ingredients

Banana bread is a great way of using up any overripe bananas sitting in your fruit bowl. The rest of the ingredients should be in your fridge or store cupboard.

Exact quantities can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• Bananas - Make sure you choose nice ripe bananas for this Thermomix banana bread recipe. You want them to be nice and ripe to get the natural sweetness out of the fruit. They are best when they are starting to go brown on the outside, but not so ripe that they are mushy on the inside.
• Vanilla extract
• Butter - for best results your butter should be at room temperature or slightly softened.
• Brown sugar - If you don't have brown sugar, you could just use caster sugar or granulated sugar. I have done this and the results are good. However, I think the brown sugar gives it a wonderful richness.
• Eggs - your eggs should be at room temperature for best results, not straight from the fridge
• Plain flour - aka all purpose flour. You could substitute for self-raising flour and skip the baking powder, but I think you always get better results using plan flour and baking powder.
• Baking powder
• Bicarbonate of soda - aka baking soda.

Making Thermomix Banana Bread

Making a banana bread in the Thermomix is so super easy.

Step 1: Mash the bananas

Start by mashing the bananas together with the vanilla extract and set aside.

Step 2: Cream the butter and sugar

Now cream together the butter and sugar until nice and fluffy. If your butter is at room temperature this should only take 30 seconds. If your butter is straight out of the fridge, you might need to repeat for a further 10-20 seconds.

Step 3: Add eggs and bananas

Next mix in the eggs and mashed bananas. Don't worry if the mixture doesn't look very nice after this stage - it will get better!

Step 4: Add dry ingredients

Next add in the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and baking soda.

Step 5: Bake!

Finally pour the mixture into your prepared tin and bake in the oven.

Baking Banana Bread

To prepare my bread tin, I lightly grease it with butter first, and then dust it with flour. I also add some baking paper to the bottom of the tin.

This banana bread could take anywhere from 50 minutes to an hour in the oven, depending on your oven.

Check it after 50 minutes by piercing the middle with a skewer and seeing if it comes away clean. If it does, it is ready. If not, then give it a further 5-10 minutes.

Once it is ready, remove it from the tin and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Thermomix Banana Muffins

If you don't have time to make a loaf, you could use this Thermomix banana bread recipe to make muffins, which only take 20 minutes to bake.

Simply spoon them into muffin tins instead of a loaf tin.
