This banana bread has been the most popular recipe on Simply Recipes for over 10 years. Thousands of people make it every day. Why?
Banana Bread (one Bowl)
Because it really is the best banana bread recipe, period. You can mix everything in one bowl, you can vary the amount of sugar or bananas. And the secret to its great flavor? Melted butter.
The beauty of this banana bread recipe is you don't need a fancy mixer! A mixing bowl, a fork to whisk the eggs, and a sturdy spoon to mix the batter are all you need. The sugar amount is flexible. The original recipe called for a cup of white sugar, but most people, including me, do just fine with 3/4 cup, and many are happy with 1/2 cup.
You can toss in a cup of chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips if you want, or put the batter into muffin tins and make banana nut muffins instead. You can even go a step further and make chocolate banana bread.
Healthy Banana Bread Recipe
I was given this banana bread recipe years ago from my friend Heidi H, who, many years before, had begged the recipe from a ski buddy’s mother—Mrs. Hockmeyer. Thanks Heidi!
All these years later, we were curious to know more about who Mrs. Hockmeyer is, and how Heidi got her recipe in the first place. You can read all about it in this story.
This recipe calls for an 8x4-inch loaf pan, which produces a tall loaf. The recipe will also work in an 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pan, producing a slightly shorter bread. Since the pan is a bit larger, the bake time is shorter: 47 to 57 minutes. A 9x5-inch pan will yield an especially short but still delicious bread; bake for 45 to 55 minutes.
Best Ever Banana Bread Recipe
This recipe calls for an 8x4-inch loaf pan. If you are baking in an 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch pan, bake for 47 to 57 minutes. If baking in a 9x5-inch pan, bake for 45 to 55 minutes. Note that the larger pan size will produce a flatter loaf.
The best bananas to use for banana bread are those that are overripe. The yellow peels should be at least half browned, and the bananas inside squishy and browning.

It’s a constant game in our kitchen. We ALWAYS have bananas hanging on a hook on our countertop. We buy them every week. Often, when we get them at the store, they are a little too green. At the same time, we have leftovers from last week, but those are a little too ripe to eat. Ugghhh! It’s a no-win situation.
Ultimate Banana Bread
Of course, while I’m gonna have to just wait for those greenies to ripen up, there are tons of stuff I can do with the spotted ones. This blog is FULL of delicious recipes using ripe bananas. From the fresh and fruity Strawberry Banana Muffins and Blueberry Banana Muffins to classics like Banana Roll Cake, Banana Cream Pie and Banana Poke Cake, there is no shortage of delicious uses for ripe bananas. But one recipe we haven’t posted on here a good old fashioned Banana Bread! Well, that changes today!
And, we aren’t just going to post any ole recipe for Banana Bread. Here at Bubba Pie, we are all about easy and simple. Also, many banana bread recipes call for at least 3-4 bananas? What if you only have a couple? That is exact scenario I’m in almost every week! With this recipe, you’ll get delicious banana bread flavor without having a whole bunch of over ripe bananas laying around!
The most important aspect of your banana is to make sure that they are ripe enough. As bananas start to ripen, the starch in them starts to turn to sugar and they will soften. So, one way to tell is that they are softer to the touch. They will also start to get brown spots on the peel. A perfectly ripe banana for banana bread will be nice and soft and have a good amount of brown spots. If there is ANY green on the peel, they probably won’t make very good banana bread. On the other hand, make sure they aren’t TOO ripe, as they could have mold on them at that point.
Banana Bread Recipe (banana Bread With 2 Bananas)
As I mentioned above, since this is a 2 banana bread recipe, and we are only using 2 bananas, they really DO need to be pretty good sized. Other than that, the actual brand of the banana doesn’t matter at all.
Banana Bread doesn’t need to be refrigerated. It does just fine at room temperature on your countertop. Store it in an airtight container to maximize freshness. We recommend one like this, which every kitchen should have! Banana bread should stay fresh in a container like this for up to about 1 week.
You can easily freeze banana bread. Just allow to fully cool. Then wrap in freezer wrap or a freezer bag. It will be good in your freezer for about 5 months. You can freeze the whole loaf, and then thaw it when needed. Or you can cut the loaf into slices and freeze them separately, or at least separated by parchment paper. So you only need to thaw what you need!

I was highly motivated to find a great banana bread recipe that needed only 2 bananas and this is the one that has served me well for years.
Moist Banana Bread With Sour Cream
While this 2-Banana Banana Bread is light in colour and texture, it is big on banana flavour, even with just 2 bananas. It needs only regular pantry items, too. And best of all, it will fill your house with all the wonderful baking smells! You will have a hard time waiting for this one to cool before grabbing a slice. (It has the loveliest crust, too – lightly crisp and perfect for slicing.)
This banana bread will keep well for several days, wrapped and stored on the counter or freeze extras for later. I think you’ll also love that this banana bread is fairly light in fat and sugar, too!
Bananas: Obviously, the more ripe the bananas, the bigger the banana flavour. That said, I have made this bread with bananas that are just starting to form brown spots with success. Unless you have super small bananas, you will only need 2 bananas here. If you have a little less or a little more than 1 cup of mashed bananas, no worries. Just use it all.

Butter: You can use salted or unsalted butter here. I like unsalted myself, if I have it on hand. If using salted butter, reduce the added salt in the flour mixture slightly.
White Sugar: I haven’t tested this recipe with
