Today I'm challenging you to make this easy banana bread recipe for toddlers! Not only does it taste delicious (you'll often find a slice in my own lunch box) but it's a really great recipe for your toddler to make which is why it's the first challenge in our 5 Day Toddler Baking Challenge.
I have found an easy banana bread recipe for toddlers that you will love. My toddlers always enjoy making this and I love that it is a (reasonably) healthy snack for them, and that I can enjoy it with a cup of coffee too! For this recipe you do not need a mixer, your toddler can do all of the steps themselves (with help and supervision of course!).
One of the main reasons I love making banana bread is that my toddlers love eating a few bites of a banana. They never eat the whole thing and I'm always left with a peeled, unwanted banana.
Eggless Banana Bread (adaptable For Vegan)
I started putting these into zip lock bags (peeled) and freezing them. I then use them when I want to make banana bread, or our favorite strawberry banana smoothies. This tip also works great for overripe bananas that you would normally throw away.
As this is the first day of our 5 Day Toddler Baking Challenge (you can still sign up HERE) I have a few tips for you when baking with your toddlers.
I can't wait to see photos of your toddler making this. Make sure you share your photos on Instagram and in our Facebook Group using # and #ToddlerBakingChallenge. The next activity in our 5 Day Baking Challenge will be in 2 days time, so you've got a bit of time to get this one done!
Super Simple Banana Bread
Hi! Would love to try your lovely recipe with my toddler but unfortunately I don’t have self-rising flour. Do you know how much baking powder I should use instead? Thanks so much for your help!

Banana bread is the perfect way to use up overripe bananas but many versions resemble a dessert recipe rather than a healthy snack. They taste delicious but are definitely not something we want to continually fill out little one's tummies up with.
Banana Bread For Babies, Toddlers, Kids
Even healthy recipes are packed full of honey or maple syrup meaning they still have a high sugar content and in my mind are still regarded as a dessert recipe.
This version is only sweetened with fruit, there are a few dates to help with the sweetness, so I still consider this an occasional treat, but it is noticeably less sweet than most banana bread recipes, even the healthy ones.
The great thing about banana bread is how easy it is to make. It is one of those recipes that doesn't require any fancy ingredients and generally most households have all the ingredient to hand (and are actually looking for a way to use up brown bananas).
Healthy No Added Sugar Banana Bread
Although an easy recipe to follow, there are still a few pitfalls that you'll want to avoid. Below you will find my top tips to ensure you have perfect banana bread every time.

Pumpkin + Banana Toddler Bread
Dates: I used fresh Medjool dates which blended easily. If your dates are dried then you should soak in boiling water for 10 mins before draining and blending. You can add more or less dates depending on how sweet you want your bread to be. No dates? You can just skip them (if you are not worried about sweetness) or replace the date and milk mixture with ½ cup of maple syrup.
Flour: I used a white wholemeal flour. I can not guarantee what the results will be like with less processed wholemeal flour as I haven't tested. You can replace with plain (all purpose) flour or do a mixture of wholemeal and all purpose.

Whether your bananas are resting on your counter, or you chose to freeze a few old bananas, the best banana bread will ultimately come from ripe bananas. The rest is about the right balance of wet and dry ingredients.
The Best Healthy Banana Bread Recipe
To make this baby banana breadtakes all of 10 minutes to whisk everything together and an hour of waiting until it bakes through. It’s the best way of making a banana dessert for kids without hovering over your stove like when you make banana pancakes.
Because there is another liquid used in the recipe (often too much) and also there is no acid like lemon juice or apple cider vinegar accompanying baking soda. To make the banana bread soft and fluffy you need both and no liquid added (just banana and eggs).
Babies can eat banana bread starting at 6 months of age as long as the recipe doesn’t contain any added sugar, salt and highly processed ingredients. If your baby is not ready in general for solid foods, keep banana bread for later, at 7-8 months. Also keep in mind that banana bread is still a sweet treat for babies and shouldn’t be served very often. They get easily attached to sweet foods.

Cut one small slice of banana bread into 3-4 strips and let the baby pick them up and eat with their hands.
