Simple Homemade Banana Bread

Lily and Grandma make this simple homemade banana bread, a classic, no-frills, traditional recipe that has been around for years in my family!

Simple Homemade Banana Bread

 

4 ripe bananas

⅓ cup milk

3 tbsp butter, melted

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup brown sugar

2½ cups flour

3½ tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

 

Preheat the oven to 350℉.

Grease bottom only of a loaf pan, 9x5x3 inches, or 2 loaf pans, 8½x4½x2 ½ inches.

Peel bananas and place in a blender cup.  Add milk, butter, egg and vanilla.  Blend until smooth.  Add sugars and blend again until smooth.

Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.  Add banana mixture and mix with a hand or stand mixer until well blended.

Pour mixture into loaf pan(s) and bake until the internal temperature reaches 200℉ or until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean, 55 – 65 minutes (55 – 60 minutes for 8” loaves).

Cool for 5 minutes.  Loosen sides of the bread from the pan and turn onto a cooling rack.

Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Hack:  To make muffins, simply divide batter evenly between 12 greased standard-size muffin tins and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of one comes out clean.  Check out the video here!

Hack:  Tightly wrap leftovers and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

  1. I’ve been looking for super easy recipes to follow for banana bread, I’m happy I found your site! 🙂

    Do you have any specific blender and/or whisk that you’d recommend using? I suppose not just for making banana bread but just in general, would love to know what you use!

    Thank you! 🙏

    1. This bread has been a favorite in my family for years!  I use this Black + Decker blender. It’s inexpensive but it gets the job done!  As for a whisk, I like this tool from Pampered Chef.  It’s not “marketed” as a whisk but that’s what I have always used it for and it works great!
