Isn’t banana bread great? We are forever leaving bananas until they are brown, and banana bread is such a great way to use them up and avoid food waste. This banana bread is very easy to make – and the result is truly fabulous… it manages that trick of being super light and airy AND really moist AND it really tastes of bananas without being overly sweet or cloying. Seriously, this banana bread is insanely delicious – certainly the tastiest banana bread I’ve ever tried… and quite possibly the best banana bread ever!
Self Raising Flour Banana Bread (vegan)
This banana bread is also really easy to make… You just combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Then you mash the bananas in a bowl or jug, add the eggs and stir to combine. Tip the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir, then add in the melted butter and stir again. So easy! No creaming, no folding, no whisking – just a bit of mashing and stirring. And no fancy equipment needed either! Then just pop the banana bread in the oven for 45 minutes and you are done. The whole process takes 1 hour from start to finish and, for most of that, the cake is in the oven!
Not only is this banana bread super easy and super tasty, it’s also a little bit healthier than regular banana bread: it uses brown self raising flour, rather than white (though it works well with white self raising flour too!), and also slightly less sugar and butter than I would normally use in a cake this size. I also add in a handful of mixed seeds for extra goodness (Though you could use chopped nuts or chocolate chips if you prefer!)
For best results, I recommend using loaf tin liners. If you don’t have any loaf tin liners, I have a neat trick for you: scrunch up a sheet of greaseproof paper big enough to fit in one of your loaf tins. Wet it under the cold tap to make it pliable, then use it to line the loaf tin. Repeat with the other tin.

Yes you can! Banana bread freezes really well. Simply wrap the cooked and cooled banana bread in a double layer of baking paper, followed by a double layer of foil and place in your freezer, where it will keep for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight at room temperature. Once unwrapped, store in an airtight container.

That was before the first snowflake even fell.
I think there must be some internal instinct that compels you to go do some baking if there is snow in the forecast. Maybe? Not really? Okay, it is just something that I like to do.
How To Make Banana Bread
I believe that a lot of home cooks enjoy being in the kitchen making snow day goodies. Cooking is very comforting to me.
In the kitchen I had a bunch of overripe bananas staring at me and of course I immediately thought that I would play around with my banana bread recipe.
I have an easy banana nut bread recipe here on the blog, so you can check that out too, if you want. My original banana bread recipe is pretty much your average loaf of banana good made with all purpose flour. It’s a good recipe but there’s nothing special about it.
Self Rising Flour Banana Bread Recipe
! So, I got to thinking that I’m gonna simplify my recipe and the type of flour is not the only thing I switched up.
Easy banana bread recipe. It was amazing! I tested the recipe again the following week and again the next. Perfect results every time and it’s the best banana bread that I have ever tasted.
My friend, please allow me to share how I make it because you’re gonna want to enjoy this delicious moist banana bread too.
Very Simple Banana Bread Recipe
Doesn’t that look delicious? We just love this easy bread recipe and those really ripe brown bananas are just perfect as the star ingredient.
With the change of flour recipes, that meant that I could leave out adding baking soda, baking powder, and salt because the self rising already has those ingredients.
The white sugar got replaced with light brown sugar. That kick of molasses in brown sugar makes this bread even more special.
Easy Banana Cake Recipe
Banana bread can be served for breakfast, as a snack or for dessert. Perhaps with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Banana bread is also delicious with a smear of peanut butter and fresh sliced bananas or other fruit. A cream cheese spread would also be so delicious with this popular quick bread.
The applesauce also helps to keep the banana bread stay fresh longer. Leftover banana bread properly wrapped in plastic wrap tastes delicious up to a week at room temperature.
Easy Banana Cake
The ingredients above are all that I used for my recipe but you may want to add chocolate chips or other seasonings, such as ground cinnamon to add additional flavors that you enjoy.
Add the wet ingredients to the mixing bowl, which are the light brown sugar, large eggs, vanilla and butter that is softened to room temperature. Use an electric hand mixer on the high speed setting to combine everything together until smooth.
Cook’s Note: You can also use melted butter in this recipe if you don’t have really soft room temperature butter. I have personally tested making banana both ways and they both work the same.

Next, add the dry ingredients, which are the couple cups self rising flour. Using your hand mixer, combine flour with the wet mixture.
Overripe bananas add the best banana flavor with natural sweetness to this self rising flour banana bread recipe. In fact, the more ripe the bananas, the better!
The next step is to add mashed bananas into your large bowl along with the applesauce and mix to combine everything together.
The Perfect {vegan} Banana Bread
The batter for this banana bread is so beautiful and silky. If you are using chopped nuts, add them in and stir to combine.
We like the texture that the nuts add to the banana bread and we always have a stash of pecans on hand in the freezer for baking.
Lightly spray a 9 inch by 5 inch loaf pan then transfer the bread batter mixture, using a rubber spatula, to the loaf pan for baking. Sprinkle a little bit of granola over top of the bread dough, if using.
Ingredient Banana Bread (no Butter Or Oil!)
The granola is optional but really adds a special finishing touch to this bread and adds another layer of flavor and texture.
I bake in a gas oven and it takes my banana bread loaf exactly one hour to bake perfectly. Use a toothpick and insert it into the middle of the loaf to test for doneness.
Once the pan has cooled down enough to safely handle with your bare hands, place a sheet of parchment paper on the wire rack and turn out the banana bread loaf to finish cooling.
Basic Quick Bread Recipe Baker Bettie
After enjoying a slice of your fresh baked delicious banana bread, be sure to wrap it well in plastic wrap to keep it fresh and moist.
If you wanted to make this bread recipe into baked gifts, divide the batter into mini loaves pans and bake. The baking time will be a lot less however and you will need to keep an eye on it. Since I’ve never made it into mini loaves I’m not sure how long they will take.
If you were keeping count, this is a six ingredient banana bread recipe with two additional optional ingredients. So simple and so very delicious.
