- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs

- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

- Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Banana bread without baking soda has been a beloved treat for generations. This classic recipe originated in the United States during the Great Depression when baking soda was scarce. Chefs and home cooks got creative and found that using baking powder instead of baking soda produced a similar rise and texture in their banana bread. Today, this recipe remains popular for its simplicity and delicious flavor. The best versions of this dish can be found in cozy bakeries and cafes across the country, especially in the southern regions where it's a staple. The key to perfecting this recipe lies in ripe, mashed bananas and the right balance of flour, sugar, and baking powder. For a unique twist, some chefs add a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth and depth of flavor. Whether enjoyed as a breakfast indulgence or a comforting snack, banana bread without baking soda continues to be a timeless favorite.
