Kirsebær-bananbrød
Ingredienser
- 1 ½ kopper Mos bananer - equivalent to 3 large ripe bananas (note 1)
- ⅓ cup Lønnesirup - (merknad 3)
- ⅓ cup Olivenolje med mild smak - (merknad 4)
- ½ teskje Mandelekstrakt - (merknad 5)
- ½ teskje Vaniljeekstrakt
- 1 ½ kopper Selvhevende mel - (merknad 2)
- 1 teskje Kanel
- 1 cup Kirsebær - pitted, haved, fresh or frozen (note 6)
Topping
- ½ cup Skiver av mandler
- 5-6 hele Kirsebær
Instruksjoner
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper with cooking spray.
- If using fresh cherries, remove their stems, press each cherry lightly with the bottom of a glass or anything flat. The cherries will crack, and you will be able to remove the pits easily, splitting the cherry in half at the same time. Repeat until you get a cup of packed pitted cherries. Set aside.
- Mos bananene, pakk dem i et målebeger for å måle nøyaktig 1 kopp + 1/2 kopp, og ha dem i en mikseskål.
- Stir in the maple syrup, oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
- Fold in self-rising flour, cinnamon, and use a rubber spatula to combine. It should form a thick, smooth banana bread batter.
- Fold in the pitted cheries and the little juice it has released when pitting.
- Stir to evenly incorporate in the batter.
- Overfør røren til den forberedte brødformen.
- If you like, press a few cherries on top – pitted or not – I didn't pit mine because it looks better, but then watch out for the pits when eating the bread. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top and lightly press to stick to the batter.
- Bake the bread in the oven at 350°F (180°C) on the center rack for 50-60 minutes. If the top of the bread darkens too fast, foil the pan after 30 minutes. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- La brødet avkjøles i formen i 10 minutter, og slipp det deretter og avkjøl helt på en rist i omtrent 2 timer før du skjærer det i skiver.

Ingredienser og erstatninger
Du trenger bare noen få enkle ingredienser for å lage denne oppskriften. Slik velger og bytter du dem.

- Mos bananer – These are the primary natural sweetener and binder for your bread, providing essential moisture and a classic banana flavor. For the best results, use very ripe bananas with dark spots on their skins.
- Lønnesirup – This natural liquid sweetener adds extra sweetness and contributes to the bread’s moist texture. You can also use agave syrup or coconut nectar as alternatives.
- Lett olivenolje – This fat helps keep the bread moist and tender. Any other neutral-flavored oil, such as canola oil or melted refined coconut oil, also works well.
- Mandelekstrakt – This optional but highly recommended extract significantly enhances the flavor of the cherries, creating a truly delicious pairing.
- Vaniljeekstrakt – This adds a warm, comforting aroma and subtle sweetness that complements all the other flavors in the bread.
- Selvhevende mel – This provides the necessary structure and lift for your banana bread, ensuring a light and fluffy texture. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can create your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder. For a gluten-free option, use my glutenfri omformer, men ikke glem bakepulveret.
- Kanel – This warm spice adds flavor that perfectly complements the banana and cherry.
- Kirsebær – These are the star fruit of your bread, adding a burst of sweet-tart flavor and juicy texture. You can use fresh or frozen pitted cherries, making sure to halve them.
- Skiver av mandler – These provide a lovely crunch and subtle nutty flavor as a topping for your banana bread.
- Whole Cherries – These are an optional decorative topping, adding visual appeal to the finished loaf.

Carines baketips
Let me share a few more tips for a perfect cherry banana bread.
- Ripe Bananas for Sweetness – Always choose very ripe bananas with plenty of black spots on their skins. They are naturally sweeter and will make your bread more moist and flavorful.
- Precise Banana Measurement – After mashing your bananas, make sure to pack them tightly into a measuring cup to get the exact amount needed for the best consistency.
- Cherry Preparation – If using fresh cherries, pitting them is easier if you gently press each cherry with the bottom of a glass until it cracks, then simply pull out the pit and halve the cherry.
- Cherry Size Matters – Half your pitted cherries instead of chopping them into smaller pieces. Larger cherry pieces provide a more satisfying, moist bite of fruit throughout the bread.
- Ikke overmiks – When combining the dry and wet ingredients, stir with a rubber spatula just until a thick, smooth batter forms and no dry streaks remain. Overmixing can lead to a tougher texture.
- Embrace the Juice – Don’t drain the small amount of juice released by the pitted cherries. This natural fruit juice adds extra moisture and flavor to the batter.
- Folie til bruning – Keep an eye on your bread as it bakes. If the top starts to darken too quickly (around the 30-minute mark), loosely tent the pan with foil to prevent over-browning while the inside finishes cooking.

Just made this today for breakfast snack tomorrow. It looks, smells and tastes great! Super easy to put together. I wasn’t able to find fresh sweet cherries so I had to use frozen. Super juicy and pitted! I’ll be making this again!! Thank you Corine!
