Banana bread is one of my all time favourite bakes We’ve made a lot of them over the years and I have my go to recipe but once in a while I like to try a new banana loaf. Mary Berry’s banana bread is a great recipe for kids because it simply mixes everything together in one bowl. I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it again but those tend to be the easiest bakes for kids and certainly mean less washing up!

As this uses the ‘all in one’ method it’s a great, easy banana loaf for kids. They can help measure everything out before mixing it all togther in your mixing bowl. Because you’re mixing everything together it also doesn’t really matter the order you add everything which is one less thing to worry about.
The riper the banana the better when it comes to baking. If it’s turning brown, or already brown then it’s perfect. When bananas turn brown, they become much sweeter which is exactly what you want for banana bread.
You’re unlikely to be able to buy overripe bananas, perfect for banana loaf in the supermarket, and if you don’t have any brown bananas in your fruit bowl, you might want to make your own. Bananas ripen more quickly in a brown paper bag, so you can put a few in one, fold down the top and wait a day or two. If you have an apple, pop that in and the bananas will ripen even quicker.

If you can’t wait a few days for your bananas to ripen, try baking them in the oven before you make your banana bread. Pop them on a baking tray and baking them for 15-20 minutes at 150C / 300F. They’ll blacken and sweeten in the oven, and when you’re ready to use them, simply peel them a little and scoop out the fruit.
Yes. If you have overripe bananas but no time to bake, simply peel them and wrap them in cling film or pop them in a freezer bag. They’ll keep for a few months. When you’re ready to use them thaw them out before adding them to your recipe. You can chop the bananas up before you freeze them if you want to be able to use small portions – once you’ve chopped them freeze them on a baking tray for a few hours before putting them in a freezer bag.
Thawed bananas are a bit soft and watery, but that’s fine. It’ll make them easier for to mash to add your your banana loaf.
Classic Banana Bread Recipe (easy & Moist)
I love banana bread on it’s own, or served warm with a little bit of butter. If you like you can add a little bit of cinnamon or some sultanas.
You can check whether your banana loaf is ready by inserting a toothpick, metal skewer or sharp knife into the middle. It should come out clean, or with just a few crumbs on it. If there is a lot of wet batter still on it when you check, pop it back in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
Banana bread is a loaf rather than a ‘bread’ so you don’t need to knead and mix the dough to develop the gluten. In fact, if you do overmix it it can lose it’s lightness and become too dense or rubbery. To avoid this, stop mixing it the batter together once it’s nice and smooth.

Get your kids to measure everything out in a small bowl before adding it to a large mixing bowl or freestanding mixer.
We used a baking spread rather than butter, but if your butter isn’t soft, give it a quick blast in the microwave – not enough to melt it, just enough to make it easier to mix.

When your kids are cracking eggs, get them to do it in a small bowl first before adding it in, just in case they get shell in. I also tend to keep a spare empty bowl on hand so the kids can put the shell in there – it stops them just dumping it on the worktop.
Young children can easily help prepare the bananas. If you use the very ripe bananas, they should be really easy to mash before you add them to your bowl.
Once you’ve measured everything out, mix it all together using the k paddle of your freestanding mixer, a hand held mixer, or some wooden spoons.
Mary Berry's Banana Bread Loaf Recipe
Bake the banana loaf for 50 minutes – 1 hour. It’s ready when it’s risen, turned golden brown and a metal skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Remove it from the oven and leave it to cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing it from the tin, taking off the baking paper and leaving it to cool on a wire rack.

The 'nothing Wasted' Banana Bread Recipe
This website uses Google Analytics to collect anonymous information such as the number of visitors to the site, and the most popular pages.Whenever the kids ask me, “what’s your favourite fruit, Mummy?” the answer will always be, bananas! I’ve always been a fan of bananas, in fact anything banana – banana sweeties, banana puddings, banana hair products; I currently have a banana shower gel stood in my shower. So it’s really no surprise that one of my favourite bakes from Granny is her Banana Loaf.
It’s another one of those recipes that Granny can rattle off the top of her head without a second thought – probably because she makes it so much!
Always a popular choice for the mothers that Granny serves at the café she works in, with the reasoning that it’s a healthier choice of snack for the kids asking for sweets. I suppose I can see the logic (fruit = healthy, right?) but given the amount of sugar that also goes in Banana Loaf alongside the 1-of-you-5-a-day bananas, it’s perhaps not the healthiest snack there is.
My Go To Banana Bread
Made this banana loaf, it was so simple to make & absolutely delicious; even my husband who doesn’t like banana loved it!
Let’s just forget healthy for a moment though and appreciate how delicious and moist this Banana Loaf is. Compared to lots of other banana bread recipes I’ve tried, this one is pretty straight forward too – why make something more complicated that it needs to be, especially when simple means so good in this instance!
Because it’s so easy, the kids love getting involved in baking it too. My boys love nothing more than finding a slightly brown banana and waiting for it to become overripe, knowing it’ll soon be time to mash it into a Banana Bread batter.

• The riper your bananas, they better the flavour! I don’t make Banana Loaf nearly as often as I’d like because banana’s don’t last long in our house but the brown spotted, or even completely black bananas will always give you the best banana loaf.
• Banana loaf can also be frozen. Make in batches, keep within it’s grease-proof lining, wrap in tin foil and freeze for up to a few months.
Nut-free: This recipe for banana loaf doesn’t use any nuts, but be sure to double check your ingredients individually for any hidden nuts.
