Could this be baked directly in the bread machine, or would it burn or be funny given the extra sugars, etc. from the banana? If it is bread machine-friendly, is there a general rule-of-thumb for scaling down from a big bread machine to a smaller one (ie. a mini zo)? I like the idea of a yeasted banana bread, but don't have a stand mixer or the time to make a loaf fully by hand during the week. I don't recommend that you bake this in your bread machine. The bread tends to brown quickly and sometimes it is necessary to tent the top with foil. It would be difficult to monitor this in the machine. ~Amy Hi Anna, I do use the bread machine on the dough cycle for this bread, so you could do that, then give it an overnight fridge rise (in the pan) then bake in the morning. ~ MaryJane
