Print Recipe

A simple, foolproof banana bread recipe that requires only one bowl for mixing. It is moist, nutty, and perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Add the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Whisk vigorously until combined into a thick, glossy paste.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, tent with aluminum foil after 40 minutes.
  8. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment paper and place on a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor. Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to prevent tough bread. Toasting walnuts beforehand enhances their flavor. The bread can be stored at room temperature for 3 days, refrigerated for a week, or frozen for 3 months.
