Banana bread is such a tasty treat that uses simple ingredients that everyone usually has on hand! I love having quick recipes to throw together for guests or busy mornings, and that’s why I love this One Bowl Banana Bread Recipe! It is a great way to use up over-ripe bananas and welcome friends and family with a homemade treat.
It seems like the weekends go by so fast in the summer! There are so many things to be doing and chores to tend to that weekend breakfasts have been very simple around our house the last few months.
Simple, homemade recipes that take about 10 minutes to throw together are perfect for weekends. This banana bread recipe is also great because you can make ahead and freeze, or store in a ziplock bag. Banana bread batter also can be made into muffins that are more on-the-go friendly!

Tips for this One Bowl Banana Bread Recipe
- Make sure to mash your bananas really well beforehand. This will make your batter smooth and taste great.

- Don’t forget to add the sprinkle of sugar on the batter right before you bake! This makes a great crust on top.
- Use a skewer or butter knife to check center before pulling your loaf out of the oven.
- Don’t overbake or this recipe will turn out dry!

How To Make Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350 degree. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan with butter.
- Mash banans in large bowl until they are smooth.
- Melt butter and add to bananas with a wooden spoon.
- Add sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla and mix well.
- Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the large bowl. Miss lightly together and then mix all together with the wet ingredients.
- Add to the loaf pan and immediately bake.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes. Test bread to make sure that its baked all the way through. A skewer or a butter knife work great and will come out clean if it is baked through. Do not overbake or it will be dry.
