This Easy Banana Bread recipe will be the simplest homemade breakfast recipe you’ll ever make. Just dump, mix & bake for moist, delicious banana bread.
Do you have a particular “go-to” recipe for breakfast that the whole family loves? For us, it’s this super Easy Banana Bread.
A good 20+ years or so ago my mom gave me this recipe that she got from a friend. Remember the days when friends would pass along recipe cards? I know, forever ago.
Well, she passed it along to me, on the little 3×5 card. We have made that little recipe so much that the card is worn & tattered & I basically memorized the recipe.
It is simply the easiest breakfast recipe we have in the house & the whole family still goes nuts for it.
I love this recipe so much, first because my mother gave it to me & that just warms my heart. But more so because it’s just so effortless.
Now that the kids are older I can let them whip this up on their own. I mean, my son has been known for purposely avoiding the bananas all week so they are good & ripe- basically forcing someone to make this recipe. I can’t blame him. It’s a great way to start the day.
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I use frozen bananas?
Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. Just be sure to thaw them before using them. We do this all the time. If I’m in a time crunch, I will microwave the bag of bananas to thaw them quickly. Just toss the bananas and any liquid that is in the bag into the batter.
Can I use a sugar substitute?
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.
Can this banana bread be frozen?
You can freeze this. Just be sure to wrap tightly in plastic wrap before freezing and use within 3 months.
How many can this serve?
This will depend on how you cut the slices. Our family likes to do one cut down the middle – lengthwise and then 3 cuts on the short side. This gives us 8 slices.
I’m not really sure why we do it this way, because there are 5 of us & then once everyone has a piece, there is only enough for the kids to have some again the next day. Maybe they do this on purpose. But you can slice it however you like.

Can this recipe be doubled?
We love to double this recipe. I have never tried baking it in a larger pan than the 9×13. But you can double the ingredients in the mixer bowl and then separate between 2-9×13 pans and bake them side-by-side.
HOW DO YOU MAKE Homemade Banana Bread?
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine bananas, eggs, flour, sugar, oil, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and optional nuts into a large mixing bowl & beat well on med-high for approximately 30-45 seconds, or until it has the consistency of cake batter.
- Pour into a greased 13×9 glass baking dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until deep golden brown & springs back when you push slightly on top.
- Let cool or serve warm. This recipe doubles well for 2 – 9×13 pans.
What is the best way to store leftover banana bread?
I usually bake this in my casserole dish that came with an airtight lid. Then I just put the lid on & leave it on the counter.
This recipe never lasts more than 24 hours in our house. But if you live in a hot or humid climate, you might want to store this in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
