Print Recipe

A simple, moist banana bread made in a single bowl with minimal ingredients. This forgiving recipe requires no electric mixer and results in a tender, flavorful loaf perfect for breakfast or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, optionally lining with parchment paper.
  3. Peel and mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until mostly smooth.
  4. Add melted butter, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract to the bananas; whisk until well combined.
  5. Sprinkle flour, baking soda, and salt over the wet mixture.
  6. Mix gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined and no white flour streaks remain; do not overmix.
  7. Fold in optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture. Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture. Ensure baking soda is fresh for proper rising. The bread can be stored at room temperature for 3 days, refrigerated for 5 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
