One Bowl Banana Bread
This one-bowl banana bread is a delicious way to use up ripe bananas, creating a moist loaf that’s perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
- 3 over-ripe bananas
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F and line a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving excess on the two longer sides.
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl. Add sugar and butter, and continue to mash with the bananas until almost completely smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and fold with a rubber spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let cool for at least 20 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes
Storage: After allowing the bread to cool down completely, store it in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag to keep it fresh and moist. The bread will last for up to 5 days at room temperature and a week in the fridge. Enjoy it at room temperature the next day, warm it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or you can even throw it in a toaster oven wrapped in aluminum foil 350°F for 5-10 minutes.
Freezing: After it’s cooled down, slice it into individual servings, wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap, and then place them in a large freezer bag or an airtight container. It will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy a slice, thaw it in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for a few hours. You can then warm it up in the oven or microwave using the reheating instructions above.
