A simple, one-bowl recipe for moist banana bread using ripe bananas and common pantry ingredients. This classic quick bread is perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
  3. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
  4. Mix in the baking soda, salt, sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Stir in the flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moistness, you can substitute 1/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt for some of the butter.
  • Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or chocolate chips to the batter for variations.
  • To keep your banana bread moist, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Banana bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
