I find my family sometimes avoiding eating the bananas on the counter to ensure this banana bread is made soon! They know that once the bananas ripen a bit too much, if there is three or more left, then I’ll be making a loaf of this delicious and moist banana bread within a day or two!
This recipe is adaptable to as many or few mixing you’d like to add such as chocolate chips and walnuts or a cinnamon sugar swirl!
Streusel Topping (Optional)
This quick and easy streusel style topping really brings this banana bread to the next level!
Delicious and Moist Easy Banana Bread
I've caught my family purposely not eating the bananas on the counter to ensure this banana bread is made soon! They know that once the bananas ripen a bit too much, if there is three or more left, then I’ll be making a loaf of this delicious and moist banana bread within a day or two!

Ingredients
- 3 large Bananas very ripe
- 1/3 cup Unsalted Butter melted (76g)
- ⅔ cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (240g)
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 cup mix-ins optional
Instructions
- Grease a metal loaf pan (I like to grease with butter & line with parchment) & preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a bowl, mix all dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder & cinnamon)
- In a large bowl, use a fork to mash all 3 bananas, until no large pieces remain.
- Add the melted butter to the bananas and mix to combine.
- Add sugar, eggs and vanilla and mix again till well combined.
- Add dry ingredients and mix just until no dry flour remains visible.
- If you are opting to add mix-ins, do this now, and mix lightly just to distribute. My usual is 1/2 cup chocolate chips & 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45min, all ovens are different, so test with a toothpick (inserted into the centre should come out clean/dry). Let it cool in the pan for about 10min before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
NOTE 1: great with extremely ripe bananas
