This toaster oven banana bread recipe is perfect for baking in a medium or large oven. You can make a single moist and sweet loaf or 3 mini loaves, either way, they’ll be full of great banana flavor. If you’ve got a smaller toaster oven, no worries we’ve included some little oven baking tips too!
It’s not a fast recipe, the loaf takes about 45 to 50 minutes to cook. But the final results are so tender and moist, that I’d say it’s more than worth the wait.
Bananas: The secret to this tasty recipe is using very ripe bananas. Ones that are spotted brown all over, easy to mash, and are so fragrant you can smell them through the peel.
Air Fryer Banana Bread
1. Adjust the toaster oven’s cooking rack to the lowest position and preheat to 325°F on the BAKE setting. Grease only the bottom of an 8½” x 4½” loaf pan.
Normally, we bake quick bread at 350°F but with this full-sized recipe, the lower temperature gives the center of the bread enough time to cook through without over-browning the top of the bread.
2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl combine the mashed bananas, egg, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla.

3. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and gently mix together just until combined. For the most tender bread avoid overmixing the batter, it should be chunky/lumpy looking (not perfectly smooth).
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 40 to 50 minutes.
5. Allow the bread to cool in the pan to cool for 10 minutes, then carefully tip the loaf out and transfer it to a baking rack to cool completely.

Aside from the faster bake time, another bonus of making the recipe this way is getting to customize each of the loaves.
We usually make a plain banana mini loaf (my favorite), one banana walnut option, and a chocolate chip banana walnut mini loaf (this one’s all for Tim). I know, kind of a tame blend.
Feel free to get creative and use your favorite mix-ins. Just divide the batter into thirds and stir 3 or 4 tablespoons into each one.
How To Tell When Banana Bread Is Done
Unfortunately, the loaf pan is too tall for our smaller toaster oven. Although I can get it to fit inside, as the bread rises there’s a chance it could come in contact with the heating elements and cause a fire.
So to make this recipe fit, I use a cake pan that holds a similar capacity (volume) as the original loaf pan.
If you’re curious about how to find the volume of a baking pan, check out this post on Baking Pan Sizes from the website Joy of Baking.
Salted Caramel Banana Bread Recipe
I like to use the Nordic Ware pan because it’s a little deeper. The slices come out fat and thick, like a banana bread snack cake.
Since the pan is wider/shallower than the loaf pan, the batter bakes faster. Similar to the mini loaves, increasing the temperature to 350°F seems to help it bake more evenly.
For the best results, start checking on your bread after 25 minutes. Then add more time as needed. It’s easy to bake something longer, it’s nearly impossible to unburn it 🙂
Coconut Banana Bread
Buttermilk Substitute: Pour 1½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice) into a glass measuring cup. Then fill with milk to the 1/2 cup mark. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes before adding to the recipe.
Oil Options: In addition to melted coconut oil, we’ve used canola oil and grapeseed oil without any issues. Personally, I think the coconut oil tastes the best but you do have to make sure the dairy and egg are at room temperature or else the coconut oil will harden in the batter.
To Make Mini Loaves: Increase the oven temperature to 350°F. Grease the bottom of three 5-3/4” x 3” x 2” mini loaf pans. Divide batter evenly between the pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Banana Bread Recipe For 3 Bananas
An 8.5 x 6.5 pan or 10.75 x 7.5 pan can be substituted for the 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan. Increase the temperature to 350°F and bake until browned and a toothpick comes out clean, about 28 to 35 minutes. The total time will depend on your oven and the pan used. For the best results, begin testing after 25 minutes and add time as needed.This easy banana bread for two recipe makes an adorable mini loaf that’s perfect for baking in the toaster oven. It comes together quickly and requires just one bowl, one small banana, and a few pantry staples.
Tender, moist, and full of sweet banana flavor, it’s no surprise this mini loaf is one of our more popular recipes. Here’s why we love it and think you will too:
Trust me, if you’ve got an old banana on the counter and you haven’t tried this small-batch recipe yet, now’s the time!
Best Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe
One Banana: For the best flavor, use a very ripe spotted small banana (about 6-inches long). If your banana is larger, just chop some of it off and enjoy the leftovers as a snack. Measuring after mashing? You want at least 1/4 cup but no more than 1/3 cup mashed banana (about 60 to 85 grams).
Sugar: Granulated sugar, brown sugar, or a combination of both. Coconut sugar works too. If using coconut sugar or brown sugar, stir it into the wet ingredients instead of the flour.
Yogurt: This helps to keep the loaf moist and tender. Plain, vanilla, Greek yogurt, or regular yogurt will all work as will sour cream.

1. Adjust the cooking rack to the lower position, select the BAKE setting, and preheat the toaster oven to 350°F. If cooking with a traditional oven, use the middle rack position.
Brush or spray the bottom of a metal 5-¾” x 3” x 2” mini loaf pan with oil.Similar to making brownies, if the sides are left uncoated the edges of the bread have something to cling to as it’s rising. If you prefer to coat the whole pan, go for it.
2. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas well with a fork or potato masher. Then mix in the egg, oil, yogurt, and vanilla. Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, and stir just until combined.
Easy One Bowl Banana Bread Recipe
If you want to add mixins like chocolate chips or chopped walnuts, this is where you’d do it. To keep from weighing down the bread, I usually add about 3 tablespoons of mixins at the most.
4. Bake until the loaf has risen, is golden brown, and a toothpick (or skewer) inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached, about 24 to 28 minutes.
If you’re baking with a convection toaster oven, reduce the temperature to 325°F and check on it early. Lowering the temperature a little will help to keep the edges from overcooking before the center is baked through.

5. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes. Then gently pop it out and set it on a rack to cool completely.
If you have trouble with sticking, run a small offset spatula or butter knife slowly around the edges of the loaf and try again.
A loaf of squat and dense banana bread is definitely a bummer. There are a few things that can keep a loaf from rising, these reasons seem to be the most common.
Best Banana Bread
Old Baking Soda: Once opened baking soda starts to become less potent. If your baking soda is very old there’s a good chance it’s the culprit. Want to test if your box is still good? Check out this post from Simply Recipes.
Too Much Banana: This will keep your bread heavy and weighted down. I know it’s tough to gauge the size of a banana. To help, we’ve included weight and cup measurements for the mashed banana in the recipe card.
Using a Larger Pan: If you want your mini loaf to look like the ones in this post you need to use a 5-¾” x 3” x 2” metal mini loaf pan. If your pan is larger, the batter will be more spread out and thus will not rise as tall.
Moist & Fluffy Vegan Banana Bread Recipe (gluten Free!)
Yes, you can omit the baking soda and add ½ teaspoon of baking powder instead. But the banana bread will be much lighter in color (less browning) and have a spongey more cake-like crumb.
This recipe can be baked in a muffin tin or mini muffin tin, two 7-ounce ramekins, or as a snack cake in a 7 x 5-inch baking dish or a 6 x 2-inch round pan. The baking time will change depending on the type of pan used (see recipe notes).
Recently we’ve been experimenting with plant-based egg and yogurt options and thought it would be fun to try them with this recipe.
