One bowl banana bread! Quick and easy to make! Add nuts if you want! Freezes well and will disappear quickly if left unattended!
I’ve had some requests for my banana bread recipe recently and thought it would be a great idea to share it today. My banana bread is a very simple one bowl banana bread that makes just 1 loaf. If you want to add nuts for a banana nut bread feel free to do so! It only takes 5-10 minutes to mix up. I usually have the banana bread ready to go in the oven before it’s even preheated. This recipe also doubles well if you want more than one loaf.
While your oven is preheating lightly spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a mixing bowl, melt butter. Mix in the sugar.
Peel the bananas, place them in the mixing bowl and mash them with a potato masher or fork. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix well. The average banana size I use is roughly 6-7 inches in length. If you are really unsure if you have enough banana or too much, 3 average bananas mashed will give you 1 cup to 1 1/4 cups mashed bananas.
Add the baking powder, baking soda, and the salt. Mix in.
Add the flour and mix just until the batter comes together. If you want to add nuts to your banana bread add them in with the flour.
Put the banana bread batter in the prepared loaf pan and bake in the center of the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then tent with foil and bake for another 25 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean. Cool on a wire rack in the loaf pan for 15 minutes minimum before loosening the edges and turning out. Cool and eat!
