Print Recipe

This easy one-bowl banana bread is moist, tender, and requires no mixer. Made with simple pantry ingredients, it’s the perfect quick bread for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas (or 4 medium)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Optionally line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk or stir until well combined and glossy.
  4. Add all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in any optional add-ins (e.g., 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips) with a few quick strokes.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If top browns too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes.
  8. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for best flavor and moisture. Do not overmix the batter. Let bread cool completely before slicing to avoid gumminess. Store at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
