Easy Banana Bread
Do you ever buy too many bananas? I know I do way too often. Some weeks, my family will have them gobbled down in no time at all. Then I have some weeks that I am needing a recipe that incorporates the left overs.
I quite often have to remind myself mid week to check the banana situation. If I buy too many, the hubby will often beg (yes…. he will beg, ha ha) for me to make his favorite Easy Homemade Banana Cream Pie. I LOVE banana bread. I love my house smelling wonderful when I have a loaf baking in the oven. As a child, I would visit my aunt and she would always have some sort of bread baking. I knew that when I grew up, I wanted to be like her, lol.
I am a coffee lover. How about you? If you are an evening coffee drinker like I am, maybe you can appreciate the evening coffee and dessert thing. Having a tasty homemade bread or muffin with my coffee is the best. It’s like comfort for me.
To make this Easy Banana Bread, you will need just a few pantry ingredients and your over ripe bananas. You can have your loaf baking in just a few minutes time.

I found this recipe and made it for my good friend for her birthday….She said it was gone in a day! I will be making this again soon. Thank you for such a easy recipe.
Doesnt need baking powder to rise???
I made it today for my husband’s birthday, his favorite bread. I made it with a half cup of sugar because he is diabetic, it was great, I also added walnuts.
Will definitely make it again, thanks.
The pictures look like you added nuts to it. Is this the same recipe?
I made this today for my family. It was really good! I don’t like bananas and I ate 2 pieces! I was wondering a couple of things…What size loaf pan did you use and did you put nuts in it? The pictures look like it has nuts in it.
I made this for the first time and it came out wonderful!!! I added chopped walnuts.
It says in the ingredients to use vanilla, but in the directions, there is no mention of when to add the vanilla. Can you provide an explanation and answer as to when to add the vanilla? Thank you.
I noticed this too. When you are mixing all the wet ingredients you would normally add vanilla. That’s what I did, then added my dry ingredients after that. It turned out great! I also added cinnamon because I use it in everything.
I made this Banana Bread today and it was delicious! Thank you very much!
I have this in the oven to cook… but just a couple notes. It says vanilla in the ingredients but does not say when to add it in the directions. The first part that says ingredients shows salt but that is missing from the bottom where the recipe is printable.
One of the best loaves of banana bread I’ve ever made! I did substitute the oil with coconut oil. I like to bake with coconut oil because it makes things nice and fluffy. I just creamed my oil and sugar at the beginning then followed the recipe after that. I also added cinnamon because I just love it in all my bakes. Great great recipe and easy to modify! Thanks so much!
Your recipe doesn’t specify self-rising or all purpose flour.
Thanks to your recipe I didn’t throw away the ripe bananas, because bananas ripen so quickly I can’t eat. I have made cakes and shared with everyone.
Pretty good recipe. So you can always make this recipe at any time without waiting for bananas to ripen, peel 4 bananas, place in a ziplock bag and put them in the freezer. When wanting to make the bread, take them out of the freezer and in about an hour, you’ll be ready to go.
Very easy. Made for Thanksgiving. My family just love it. I had to make 2 more .Linda
Excellent and Easy, second time I’ve made it.
Thanks for dropping back by Mary! I am glad you enjoyed the banana bread as much as we do. It’s so easy to make.
I tried out this recipe and it was great! The bread was rich and moist. I added additional chai like spices to make it more rich.
I changed it up a bit. Since I only had two bananas, I halved everything. Also, I used CC oil a little cinnamon and no vanilla (I was out) and I make muffins. They turned out really well and were done in about 30 min.
Thanks much for sharing Mystica. Your banana muffins sound delish!
I cannot cook to save my life, but this came out amazing… so .thank you for such an easy to follow recipe, I also noticed that salt was mentioned early on, but not in the ingredient list, so didn’t add any and it didn’t specify when to add the vanilla, so just added it to wet ingredients before flour etc. Will definitely make again soon
