A moist and tender banana bread made using perfectly ripened frozen bananas for a richer, creamier texture and deep sweetness. This easy recipe is perfect for breakfast or a snack and stays moist for days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium-sized frozen ripe bananas, thawed and mashed
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ⅔ cup (135 grams) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional mix-ins:
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Thaw and mash the frozen bananas until smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Fold the mashed bananas into the wet ingredients until creamy and slightly thickened.
  7. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  8. Fold in any optional mix-ins like walnuts or chocolate chips.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan lightly to release air bubbles.
  10. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  11. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use ripe frozen bananas for best texture and sweetness. Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bread. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. Optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips add texture and flavor. For dairy-free, swap butter with coconut oil or plant-based margarine. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a gluten-free blend.
