Homemade Banana Bread
My husband once told me that this recipe is the reason he married me. He was only joking, but he does love this bread.
I like this recipe because it only uses one bowl and always seems to turn out perfectly. I don’t know about your family, but mine goes through several bananas per day, so I almost always have extra ripe ones hanging around to make up a loaf of this awesome bread.
Paired with a protein such as eggs or bacon, this homemade banana bread is great for breakfast or a snack. Plus, you can double it and freeze the extra loaf for up to three months.

I appreciate that you know the difference between “lie” and “lay” and correctly use them.
Oh this looks so yummy! I’m pinning it! 🙂 Btw. I got lots of bananas today for a discount price, because the store was getting rid of the blackened ones. They are just perfect for this recipe and I’ll use the rest for fruit leather and freezing for cakes and breads in the future.
Ripe bananas make the best banana bread! Way to snag a great deal and be resourceful!!
Saw this on Pinterest and finally got around to making it. Literally the BEST banana bread I’ve every made! I put a few choc chips in it and my husband loved it! Thanks for such a great, and super easy recipe! I’ll be making this again and again.

My loaf pan is 8.5 x 4.5 and about 3 inches deep. I’ve use larger ones with this recipe too.
Delicious!! Moist!! Light!!! Simply perfect!! I took the liberty to add chopped walnuts which for me really compliments the recipe.
I’m new to baking, homemade banana bread was so flavorful and easy! Will try your other recipes.
Best we’ve ever had , wonderful with chopped pecans and raisins !!!!.
I use this recipe whenever I have over-ripe bananas. I actually make it gluten-free by substituting gluten-free baking mix. I also add semi-sweet chocolate chips and top with walnuts or pecans. Yummy 😋
