A simple, ultra-moist banana bread made in one bowl without a mixer or butter, perfect for busy mornings and minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional mix-ins: ½ cup chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some small chunks remaining.
  3. Add vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and stir gently until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl or directly over the wet mixture, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in optional mix-ins if desired.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top gently.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, starting to check at 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center. It is done when the toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for best sweetness and moisture. Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense bread. Parchment paper can prevent sticking. Room temperature eggs blend better. Optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips add texture and flavor. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend. For vegan, replace eggs with flax eggs and use coconut or neutral oil.
