Banana bread is a sweet, cakelike bread which contains mashed bananas. Banana bread is a quick bread which typically uses baking soda as the leavening agent instead of yeast. Rather than dough, the bread is baked from thick batter, which does not require kneading. Banana bread is usually baked in a rectangular loaf pan.

Banana bread highly resembles, tastes like, and may even be mistaken for Zucchini bread.
