It’s Spring Break for our kiddos so we hit the road and have been spending our time in Sedona, Arizona exploring all the bike trails!
I made a loaf of this banana bread just before we left so we would have something to snack on during our long drive, but it was gone before we even left the house!
How To Make: Easy Banana Bread Recipe
What I love most about this banana bread recipe is that it’s mixed up in just one bowl!
Start off with some super ripe bananas and then stir in some melted butter. No mixer needed for this one!
You can mix the whole thing up with a fork or a sturdy wood spoon.
I added mini chocolate chips to my banana bread because I love how the little chips seem to cover every inch of the bread once baked.
Can I Make Banana Bread Into Muffins?
YES! You can definitely switch this recipe from a loaf into individual muffins. The baking time would decrease to about 20 to 22 minutes, or until the muffins are cooked through.

- try using half chocolate chips, half toffee bits
- remove the chocolate chips completely for a basic banana bread
- swirl in some peanut butter before baking for a fun twist

Such a great easy recipe! I’m going to post it on my facebook page with a link back to you for the recipe!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi how long can this be kept? Room temperature or fridge?
We keep this on the counter, and it usually doesn’t stick around long. But I would think if wrapped tightly it could last at least 4 to 5 days.
I have made this twice now. Such a hit. Doesn’t last longer than 24 hrs in my house. Tried it with walnuts the second time. So yummy.

It’s definitely one of our favorites too! So glad you enjoyed it Jennifer!
Have made this with and without nuts, always a favorite. Today, out of vanilla! Instead added 2t cinnamon and scant 1 t cloves to double recipe. Smells lovely baking.
Fantastic! So glad you enjoyed it!
Made this a couple of times because it’s so easy and so delicious. Some times I’ll add walnuts too. Excellent recipe!!
★★★★★
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it Carmen!
I made this banana bread tonight and it turned out amazing!!! So moist and delicious. Thanks for the incredible recipe, it was super easy to follow and 50 minutes cooking time was perfect. Will definitely be making this banana bread again!

Nice food Recipe website

Thank you! Hope you enjoy the recipes. 🙂
It’s in the oven now! I made a variation, we’ll see how it turns out….
I added the walnuts, a pouch of applesauce with cinnamon in it, and adjusted the vanilla to 1/4 tsp almond, 3/4 tsp vanilla…..
★★★★★
Sounds like some great modifications! Hope you enjoyed it!
Love this recipe! So simple and delicious. I have a batch baking at the moment and added a couple Tbsp. of unsweetened apple sauce for extra moisture just because in my opinion the moister the better!
★★★★★
I bet the applesauce is a great addition! So glad you enjoyed it!
I agreed . This recipe calls for three bananas. How many cups would that be? This banana bread looks delicious.
Hi Susie, I’m going to say about 1 1/2 cups of mashed banana. If you happen to have a little more or less I don’t think it would affect the recipe too much.
Finally I found the perfect chocolate chip banana bread. Love it. Will be making this with the grandchildren.
★★★★★
So glad you like the recipe Dottie!
Perfect banana bread! I have made this several times and it comes out wonderful. I have made it to exact measurements, I have also added some heath bits in too! I currently have it in the oven right now and this time I added a couple tablespoons of sour cream because my bananas were not as ripe as I like them to be and I wanted to ensure moist bread.

Have this recipe in the oven as we speak. I am counting calories and was able to find a site that gives you nutritional info based on ingredients! It’s called verywellfit.com So for those of you that may be curious if the bread is cut into 6 slices each slice is 426 calories, cut into 8 slices is 320 a slice and cut into 10 is 256 a slice.
I love the simplicity of this recipe. One bowl and done! I was going to make another banana bread recipe that called for *three* bowls, but then found this one. Easy prep and yummy. Thanks!

This is my favorite banana bread recipe! A trick for mashing the bananas is to smash them with the bottom of a whisk.
Made it. Love it! What temp and how long to bake if I make mini loaves? Thx for the recipe!
Such an easy recipe! Made this this morning before the kids got up and they loved waking up to the smell of banana bread.
This banana bread comes out moist and delicious! My kids absolutely love it too. For those that are looking for exact measurements in bananas, I used 3 medium. That’s basically my rule of thumb for banana recipes when they say “three bananas” I always use medium bananas. Love this recipe! I will definitely be making this again. Thank you so much!

Hi can i use almond flour in place of all purpose flour or will this affect the consistency of the bread? Also how many cups does the bananas equal to?
For recipes that call for bananas, it would be easier if you listed how many cups the 3 bananas would equate to as bananas come in all sizes. Thank You!
Just whipped up a gluten-free version (almond flour) and added mini sea salt caramels. Thanks for a really easy adaptable recipe! Yummo!!
Can’t, for the life of me, find a loaf pan in Costa Rica. Can I use a muffin tin or a cake tin?
