Of all the quick breads in the world, I don’t know that there is one more universally pleasing than banana bread. The smell of a loaf of banana bread baking engenders the happiest soul-soothing feelings.
Because you may tweak the proportions a bit, but with some eggs, sugar, flour, and fat in the form of butter or ghee or oil, or dairy (or more than one of the above), and a group of over-ripe bananas, you are going to end up with something well worth the small amount of effort involved, and that will endear you to friends and family, all around.
If I can think of something more guaranteed to be worth your while than a muffin or a quick bread, I will let you know.
Really Easy Air Fryer Banana Bread (mini Loaf!)
So when I found the world’s most adorable mini loaf pan at the flea market I go to almost every Sundayduring the summer, 8 2 x 4-inch loaves all nestled into one single baking tray, I did not even think to negotiate the $2 price tag. I grabbed, and I ran. So now I get to make 8 recipients happy for the price of one recipe. (You can also find a similar loaf pan on Amazon.)
There are also quite a nice array of little paper mini-loaf (and muffin/cupcake) pans available. If you don’t have one of these pans, you can still make the little guys easily, using these disposable mini loaf pans. I like this brand a lot. Do give them a spray with nonstick spray or if you’re feeling industrious a light swipe of softened butter.
Each mini is about the size of two muffins, so you can share with a friend, or you can decide that you deserve two muffins in the form of a mini banana bread loaf. Serve them up with butter or jam or any preserves that you like .

I’ve been making this banana bread recipe for over 40 years. Now that we are empty nesters and a reduced sized family I decided I needed to figure out a small batch banana bread using our favorite recipe. You can find the full size recipe here.
One Banana Banana Bread
It worked perfect! This recipe has the same amazing flavor and texture as the full size recipe. The recipe makes one small loaf and it is the perfect amount for one or two if you want to share.
Mix smashed banana, sugar and oil together and then add in egg yolk. Do not add in the whole egg or your banana bread will taste eggy.
After the bread has cooled, slice and enjoy. I love my warm banana bread with a little bit of butter on it. It is perfect for breakfast or a treat anytime.
Small Batch Banana Bread Recipe
It usually only lasts a day at our house, especially if making it in a small batch size. If you do end up with leftovers, store it in a zippered plastic bag or wrapped in plastic wrap and it will be good for 4 days. No need to refrigerate it. If it does dry out a bit just pop it in the toaster and it is wonderful toasted.
Place a paper towel in the bottom of an airtight storage container OR in an airtight plastic storage bag. Place the cooled loaf on top of it. The paper towel will absorb any excess moisture that may leak out over the next few days. Cover the top of the bread with another paper towel.
Be sure and cool banana bread first. Wrap the entire loaf or slices of bread in plastic wrap or foil. Place wrapped bread into a freezer storage bag. It will last for 3-4 months in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

Mini Banana Bread Loaf (made Without Eggs Or Milk)
Thanks to my go-to recipe for Mini Banana Bread Loaves. You can make them all the same flavor or choose eight different mix-ins to suit taste buds of all ages. (I’ll let you guess which of the eight mini loaves was first to be snatched by my little ones!)
Individual mini loaf pans are great (and make convenient sizes for gifting), but baking many different flavors of mini loaves at once
This pan comes with eight separate cavities and makes it even simpler to get eight deliciously different loaves without the fuss of multiple pans. You could absolutely make eight versions of the same banana bread, but I love knowing I can have eight different flavors in the same time it takes to bake one.
Easy Banana Bread
Most quickbread recipes are for one loaf, so I’ve made adjustments to allow for eight perfectly baked mini loaves (one regular recipe equals roughly three mini loaves). Like any quick bread, you’ll want to fill each cavity two-thirds of the way full to allow them enough room to rise.
Size absolutely matters when you’re baking due to the depth of your pan and the thickness of your batter in the pan. Depending on the depth of your loaf pan, you may need to increase your bake time.
To play it safe, start to check on your loaves about 5 minutes before the end of their bake time to make sure they’re evenly baked and a nice toasty brown. All that banana bread babysitting will be worth it, I promise!
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Or Muffins
Over-mixing banana bread batter causes the gluten (which gives baked goods that fluffy elasticity) to overdevelop and become dense and gummy. Not two words we want associated with our mini banana bread loaves!
Set yourself up for success by mixing wet and dry ingredients separately before folding them in together. As soon as they’re incorporated, stop mixing and set down that spatula. Your perfectly moist mini loaf is now only minutes away!
