A tender, super moist banana bread made with just five simple ingredients, perfect for beginners and quick to prepare. This recipe delivers a soft, flavorful loaf with a nostalgic comfort food vibe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (115 g), melted and slightly cooled
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until smooth but still a bit chunky (about 1 ½ cups mashed).
  3. Pour in ½ cup (115 g) melted butter and stir gently to combine with the bananas.
  4. Stir in ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar and 1 large room temperature egg until just combined.
  5. Gradually stir in 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour. Mix gently until no streaks of flour remain; batter may be a bit lumpy.
  6. Optionally, add ½ teaspoon baking soda or a pinch of salt and stir lightly.
  7. Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if top browns too fast.
  9. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and moist. Use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots for natural sweetness. Melt butter and let it cool slightly before adding to avoid scrambling the egg. If bananas are underripe, ripen them in a 300°F oven for 15 minutes. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly during baking. For extra moistness, optional additions include sour cream or yogurt. This recipe can be adapted for gluten-free and dairy-free diets with appropriate substitutions.
