Ingredients & Substitutions

Bananas: Overly ripe bananas will give you the most flavor in each bite of this banana bread. Very ripe bananas will have lots of brown spots on the peel. Ripe bananas also add moisture to the bread for a better texture.

Milk: Whole milk adds moisture to the bread as well as richness because of its fat content. If substituting milk with a lower fat content (like 2%, 1%, or Skim), the bread may not be quite as rich and moist.

Oil: Vegetable Oil adds fat to the recipe, contributing to the moisture and tenderness of the bread. It also helps prevent the bread from getting dry.

Eggs: For the best results, use eggs that are at room temperature, which blend more evenly into the batter.

Homemade Bisquick: Homemade Bisquick is a copycat version of the baking mix you find in stores. When you make it at home, you get to choose exactly what goes into it, and there are no added unwanted preservatives. Plus, after you make a batch, you can keep it for up to three months to use in different recipes! Using Bisquick in this recipe simplifies the baking process, making it quicker and more convenient.

Variations To Bisquick Banana Bread

Although delicious on its own or with a little bit of butter, this bread is easy to make your own. Here are some variations and add-ins you could try:

Chopped nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds add a nutty crunch.
Fold chocolate chips into the batter.
Add dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, or chopped dates.
Shredded coconut can add a tropical flavor with a little added texture, too.
Mix in rolled oats or granola.
Fold in diced apples or cranberries for fruity bursts.

How To Store Banana Bread

Store the bread at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, preferably in a storage container. If you need to store the bread for longer than a couple of days, you can refrigerate it for up to a week. However, storing it in the refrigerator may dry out the bread faster. To keep the bread from drying out, wrap it in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place it in an airtight container.

Freezing Banana Bread

Banana bread freezes well, so it’s a good excuse to get a couple of loaves made at a time! To freeze the bread, wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, let it thaw on the counter at room temperature.
