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.

This is my go to banana bread recipe. It’s not only easy but it’s so simple to modify. I use applesauce in place of oil, heck I’ve even used avocados instead of the applesauce. I always add a pouch of banana baby food ( consecrated flavors). I add toasted walnuts and sometimes either some granola or toasted flaked coconut. My children would never eat banana bread until I made this recipe. Good job on the recipe!
This is my go to recipe for banana bread! I love that it uses whole wheat along with plain flour. I add walnuts just because I like nuts in my banana bread.
I am not a cook and do not bake … mainly because I get to eat everything … and I do not need the excess weight … BUT … I had a few really ripe bananas in the bowl and don’t like to just bin things … so … I saw this recipe and thought it looked way too easy … and you know that they say ‘if it looks to good to be true’ … but it was and still warm from the oven – IT IS DELICIOUS . . . thank you … I like easy and the taste and texture are worth the excess kilo … xxx
So yummy! Simple ingredients, easy directions, and minimal cleanup! A total win. Thank you!
I have never made banana bread until now. Omygracious it was not only easy but so delicious. I added a cup of walnuts and soaked raisins. I folded in the flour and the bread was light and fluffy.
So delicious!!!
I have made this SO many times! It’s the best banana bread recipe and it’s so easy to customise! My latest one was pecans sprinkled on the top before baking. I’ve also made it with added cocoa and chocolate chips! Or toasted walnuts and white choc chips. Or my partners fave is regular and chocolate marbled together! So many options, and the original recipe is just as tasty.
I’ve tried swapping out the oil for melted butter and found it added to the flavour but didn’t need quite as much as it made the finished product a bit stodgy.
It might be my rubbish oven but I find I never need to cook it for more than 35-40mins but that’s just me!
I’ve been meaning to leave a message and thank the author for well over a year. You’re the best!
You are saying all purpose flour do you mean plain flour?
This is a family favorite! I make it at least once a week with old bananas. I leave out the vanilla (because It’s too expensive to buy so I don’t use it at all anymore), and I add 1 cup of chocolate chips! Thanks for a quick and easy recipe!
You forgot to add the vanilla in the recipe.
