Easy Banana Bread:

Super Simple Banana Bread that is moist, has a rich banana flavor, and the perfect texture. No mixer needed, this really is the easiest banana bread you will ever make.

Honestly, this is one of my most popular posts, along with Beef Stroganoff, Shrimp Alfredo, and Baked Chicken Wings. But this one is the easiest,  lowest-mess, most delicious recipe. Simple, moist, fantastic banana bread with hundreds of positive reviews.

You guys! Banana bread is one of my favorites, and I have a lot of recipes for it. The most popular one on my site is this one, and the second most popular is the Cream Cheese Banana Bread. I love the cream cheese filling, but sometimes I just want plain, simple, easy to make, no machine needed banana bread. I mean seriously, this is SUPER SIMPLE BANANA BREAD!

I frequently have too many over-ripe bananas, and so I went in search of the perfect simple banana bread. I found it. It is not my recipe, even though I did make a few minor tweaks. This recipe comes courtesy of Simply Recipes.  I love this Super Simple Banana Bread because you don’t need a mixer or hand mixer to make it. You can whisk the egg with a fork, and just stir everything up in a bowl, and then you have easy to make, and even easier to eat, Super Simple Banana Bread!

Super easy simple banana bread recipe no mixer neededI usually double the batch and do one big loaf (pictured) and a few mini loaves  of Super Simple Banana Bread which we devour, or give as gifts. The last time I made this banana bread I used a muffin tin and made it into muffins (which bake up a lot quicker than the loaf), and my sweet kiddos had them for quick grab and go breakfast options, and for after school snacks.

I can think of a million ways to enjoy an Easy Banana Bread! How about making this Super Simple Banana Bread recipe into easy banana bread muffins? I mean the possibilities are endless.

Super Simple Banana Bread Made Healthier:

If you want to make this recipe healthier there are a few things you can do.

  • Grind oats: You can use your blender to grind up some old fashioned oats, and sub out half the flour for oat flour in this banana bread recipe.
  • Applesauce: One healthy alternative for this easy banana bread is to use some applesauce instead of the butter, although this will change the flavor.
  • Less sugar: You can definitely cut down on the sugar in this recipe, but you will want to keep some in. I have made banana bread with about half the mentioned sugar and it is great. But base this on the sweetness of your bananas.

buttered banana breadSimple Banana Bread Mixins:

I find that I am pretty plain Jane when it comes to my banana bread. I try to use a really good vanilla. This is my favorite vanilla of all time. I do not love adding nuts, or chocolate chips. But my kids do. They love when I add chocolate chips. What is your favorite way to eat banana bread? Here are a few fun options:

  • Chocolate Chips
  • Walnuts
  • Berries
  • Streusel topped
  • Cream cheese filling
  • Flavored chips: butterscotch, peanut butter, vanilla

I love a nice pat of butter on mine, and prefer eating it fresh out of the oven. It is hard for me to wait for it to cool sometimes. But I have found that the flavors tend to intensify if you wait to eat it until it is cooled, or a day or so later. No matter how you like your banana bread, might I suggest trying this Super Simple Banana Bread recipe as it is really quite delicious!

  Super Simple Banana Bread Tools:

  • Mixing Bowl: All you need to make this recipe is a mixing bowl and wire whisk. It really is that easy.
  • Loaf Pan: My favorite loaf pan for good release of banana bread is Wilton brand. You can check out some full size options here or try the mini sized loaf pans for fun gifts! Or check out the gorgeous Rachael Ray loaf pans. I want the blue one!
  • Cooling Rack: Letting the banana bread cool will help to intensify the flavors.

Enjoy!

      Yes, muffins cook faster, try 35-40 minutes.

    The best banana bread recipe I’ve ever tried! I won’t use another! This is so easy and makes really tasty, soft bread. I actually use the recipes for muffins instead and sometimes I mix things like chocolate or peanut butter chips in too, but it’s also amazing as is. Can’t recommend this recipe enough. Thanks!
