Select the QUICK BREAD setting for a 1.5 lb load with a medium crust, and press the start button.
Scrape down the sides of the bread machine pan after about 10 minutes of mixing, or before the bake cycle starts.

Notes

Here are a few tips for making banana bread recipe for bread machine.

Use overripe bananas. Overripe bananas are sweeter and more flavorful than ripe bananas. This will result in a more delicious banana bread.
To add nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit to the bread, simply add them to the bread machine pan along with the other ingredients.
Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing. This will help prevent the banana bread from crumbling.
If you don't have a bread machine, you can still make this banana bread recipe. Simply mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl and then transfer the batter to a greased loaf pan. Bake the banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
