This easy one-bowl banana bread is moist, tender, and perfectly sweet. Made with pantry staples and minimal cleanup, it’s the ultimate comfort food that tastes like it came from a small bakery.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ½ cups or 340g)
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position the rack in the center of the oven. Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the long sides, or grease thoroughly.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remaining (about 1 ½ cups).
  3. Add the melted butter and oil to the mashed bananas and stir until combined.
  4. Mix in the granulated sugar until fully incorporated.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract until the batter looks glossy.
  6. Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, and salt on top of the wet ingredients. Do not stir yet.
  7. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. A few small lumps are fine; do not over-mix.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until the top is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  10. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then use the parchment handles to lift the loaf out and transfer to the rack to cool completely (at least 1 hour) before slicing.

Notes

For best flavor, let the banana bread rest overnight wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Do not open the oven door during the first 40 minutes of baking to prevent sinking. Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
