4 Ingredient Banana Bread
4 Ingredient Banana Bread is a delicious and easy banana bread recipe made with pantry staples! This one-bowl recipe comes together fast and has the most amazing flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, flour, sugar, and eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Let the banana bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas with lots of brown spots for maximum sweetness and flavor. They mash easily and contribute to the moistness of the bread.
- When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can result in a denser texture.
- Use the toothpick test. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (not batter), it's done. If not, bake for a few more minutes.
- Grease the loaf pan well to prevent sticking. You can also line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps it set and prevents it from falling apart.
- Storing: Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week.
- Freezing: Wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer safe bag. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw slices at room temperature or briefly warm in the oven.
