Banana bread 2 bananas is the perfect way to turn a couple of ripe bananas into a warm, comforting treat—no waste, no fuss. Soft, moist, and full of flavor, it’s an ideal small-batch recipe for cozy mornings or spontaneous baking moments.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
  • 1 to cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ to ¾ cup sugar (white or brown)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup melted butter or oil
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the bananas thoroughly in a large bowl.
  3. Add sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Add optional toppings if desired.
  7. Bake for 45–55 minutes, checking with a toothpick at 45 minutes.
  8. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use bananas that are very ripe for maximum flavor. You can add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a swirl of peanut butter for extra richness. Store at room temp for 3–4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
