Easy Banana Bread Recipe

Ahhh, Banana Bread! How delicious the house smells when you are baking in my oven. I love banana bread, it’s such a yummy treat. Perfect to make when you have a ton of ripe bananas to use up. With all of the little monkeys running around here, I hardly ever have any leftover bananas, but this week was an exception. I am going to share with you one of the tastiest recipes for banana bread my tummy has ever experienced.

Banana bread cooked and cooling in a pan.

I grew up with my mom making this recipe, only she liked to add nuts.

While I like nuts, I like them out of my banana bread. (You can add those in if you like.) 🙂

What Ingredients Do I Need to Make Banana Bread

You definitely want to have a good bushel of bananas for this recipe. You need to have 2 and 1/2 cups of crushed bananas. That’s about 5 medium sized bananas.

I have to be honest with you. Sometimes I am craving this banana bread and I don’t even wait on the bananas to get overripe. It’s such a delicious and easy treat to make, I will use fresh bananas all day long. But, it is perfect if you’ve over-bought bananas and are worried about throwing them out.

Banana bread sliced and served with a buttered piece of bread on a plate.

To get started, let’s gather up our ingredients:

  • ripe bananas
  • brown sugar
  • butter
  • eggs
  • baking soda
  • flour
  • salt
  • chopped nuts if desired
Ingredients to make a moist banana bread recipe.

How to Make Banana Bread

Heat your oven up to 350. In a large bowl, combine flour and baking soda. In medium dish melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar until a creamy texture. Stir in eggs, salt, and bananas. Cream these together well.

Ingredients for banana bread mixed together.

Add this mixture slowly to the large bowl with flour, making sure to get everything mixed well.

Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan. Pour in your banana bread mixture and place it in the heated oven for 1 hour. Check closely at the one hour mark to make sure the edges aren’t browning too much.

Banana bread dough placed into a pan and ready to bake.

Check with a toothpick after an hour, baking longer if needed. Pull when done, and allow to cool before serving.

Banana bread removed from the oven and cooling before slicing and serving.

How do I store banana bread?

Store Banana Bread in an airtight container away from direct sunlight and in a cool place. You should consume the banana bread within a few days.

    I love banana bread WITHOUT nuts. I like most things without nuts, although I don’t mind nuts alone. I like my banana bread with chocolate chips. Is that wrong?

    We always have bananas ready to use in bread at our house. Yes, that means they are very ripe. We need to try this.
