This banana bread has been a staple in my kitchen for years. It is incredibly easy to stir together when you have a few brown bananas sitting on the counter, and it turns out perfectly soft and sweet every single time.

My favorite thing about this recipe is that it uses simple pantry staples. I suggest using the ripest bananas you can find because they add the best natural sweetness and moisture to the loaf.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour or all purpose flour
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard loaf pan.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mash the bananas until they are smooth.

  3. 3

    Stir in the melted oil, honey, egg, and vanilla until well combined.

  4. 4

    Add the baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to the wet mixture.

  5. 5

    Gently fold in the flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.

  6. 6

    Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.

  7. 7

    Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Tips

Store this bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also slice it and freeze individual pieces for a quick grab and go breakfast. It tastes delicious toasted with a little bit of butter on top.
