Banana loaf is a moist, sweet bread made primarily from ripe bananas, flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and baking agents like baking soda or powder. Originating from American cuisine, it gained popularity during the Great Depression as a way to reduce food waste and make use of overripe bananas. Often flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg, this comforting baked good may also include mix-ins like walnuts, chocolate chips, or raisins. Banana loaf provides a source of potassium from the bananas and offers some fiber when made with whole-grain flour or added nuts. However, traditional recipes can be high in sugar and fats, depending on the preparation. Healthier variations often use alternative sweeteners, applesauce, or Greek yogurt to reduce calorie content. A slice of banana loaf can be an occasional indulgent treat or a balanced snack when made with nutrient-rich adjustments.
