Cherry Banana Bread
Ingrediente
- 1 ½ cupe Piure de banane - equivalent to 3 large ripe bananas (note 1)
- ⅓ ceaşcă Sirop de arțar - (nota 3)
- ⅓ ceaşcă Ulei de măsline cu aromă blândă - (nota 4)
- ½ linguriță Extract de migdale - (nota 5)
- ½ linguriță Extract de vanilie
- 1 ½ cupe Făină auto-crescătoare - (nota 2)
- 1 linguriță Scorţişoară
- 1 ceaşcă Cireșe - pitted, haved, fresh or frozen (note 6)
Topping
- ½ ceaşcă Migdale feliate
- 5-6 întreg Cireșe
Instrucțiuni
- 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.
- Zdrobiți bananele, puneți-le într-o cană gradată cât să măsoare exact 1 cană + 1/2 cană și puneți-le într-un bol.
- 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.
- Transferați aluatul în tava de chec pregătită.
- 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.
- Lăsați pâinea să se răcească în tavă timp de 10 minute, apoi scoateți-o din tavă și lăsați-o să se răcească complet pe un grătar timp de aproximativ 2 ore înainte de a o felia.

Ingrediente și înlocuiri
Ai nevoie doar de câteva ingrediente simple pentru a prepara această rețetă. Iată cum să le alegi și să le înlocuiești.

- Piure de banane – 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.
- Sirop de arțar – 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.
- Ulei de măsline ușor – 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.
- Extract de migdale – This optional but highly recommended extract significantly enhances the flavor of the cherries, creating a truly delicious pairing.
- Extract de vanilie – This adds a warm, comforting aroma and subtle sweetness that complements all the other flavors in the bread.
- Făină auto-crescătoare – 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 convertor fără gluten, dar nu uitați de praful de copt.
- Scorţişoară – This warm spice adds flavor that perfectly complements the banana and cherry.
- Cireșe – 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.
- Migdale feliate – 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.
How to Make Cherry Banana Bread

Bake the bread in the oven at 350°F (180°C) on the center rack for 50-60 minutes.
Sfaturile de copt ale lui Carine
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.
- Nu amestecați în exces – 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.
- Foil for Browning – 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!
