Banana bread is a favorite recipe in our house, and I have made hundreds over the years. More recently, I have made well over 2 dozen loaves of banana bread, testing many variations, like this Banana Bread with Streusel Topping, or Banana Bread without a Loaf Pan. This research ultimately culminated in my detailed Guide to Baking Banana Bread.
The Best Einkorn Banana Bread
Einkorn flour is a wheat flour that can be substituted in many recipes 1 for 1 with standard all-purpose flour. There are a variety of reasons why you might choose Einkorn flour over all-purpose flour.
Because Einkorn flour has a low gluten index, it needs to be treated differently when baking with yeast or sourdough bread, but it works seamlessly in banana bread.
Compared with all-purpose flour, banana bread made with einkorn flour does not have as large of a rise, or as sharp an “ear” on the top, the shape the bread makes when scored before baking (usually quick breads are not scored, but naturally form an “ear” on their own).

The density and texture of this quick bread, however, are not markedly different when using Einkorn flour compared with standard all-purpose flour.
The Jovial brand of Einkorn flour can be found at Whole Foods or online, where it can also be purchased in larger quantities. Einkorn flour is significantly more expensive than standard all-purpose flour.
Using Einkorn in banana bread does not have any significant impact on the taste or texture of banana bread. You would never know the difference between a loaf of banana bread made with einkorn flour vs. a loaf of banana bread made with all-purpose flour (which is a blend of hard and soft wheat).
Einkorn Banana Bread With A Caramelized Glaze
Above is an image of King Arthur’s unbleached all-purpose flour and Jovial Einkorn all-purpose flour. The two flours feel exactly the same in texture. The color of the Einkorn flour is slightly yellow, compared with the white all-purpose flour.
As bananas change from underripe to ripe their sugar content increases significantly. However, overripe bananas are not any sweeter than ripe bananas. Overripe bananas, do however, have a stronger banana flavor. I find that very overripe bananas (more brown than yellow) are too intense in flavor for my preference, giving off an almost imitation banana taste (like you’d find in banana-flavored candy).
Expert Tip: Where possible, choose bananas that are ripe, more yellow than brown, but with plenty of brown spots. However, as long as your bananas are no longer unripe they will work well in banana bread.

This recipe calls for two cups of mashed bananas. This is typically 4 ½ to 5 medium bananas. It is important to measure the total quantity of mashed bananas in a large measuring pitcher (if you have one). This can be done quickly by adding the bananas in 1 to 2-inch chunks to a large measuring pitcher and mashing them with a hand mixer. This can of course be done by hand or with measuring cups if that is what you have available to you.
Below are the ingredients needed to make Einkorn Banana Bread. Note the texture of the Einkorn flour is the same as standard all-purpose flour, but the color is slightly more yellow.
Fantastic 100% Einkorn Sourdough Loaf Recipe
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350℉. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a hand-held mixer (or mix by hand if you do not have a mixer).
Step 6. Butter and flour a 9x5 loaf pan.* See note below on different pan types and sizes. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Create a score at the top of the loaf of bread with a knife. It is okay if the score doesn’t “stay” like it would with yeast bread. It will still help the bread to rise and separate around the score.
I have made this quick bread recipe many times both with and without sour cream. Using sour cream with Einkorn flour adds moisture and requires more flour to balance out the extra water content (it requires more Einkorn flour than would be needed if using standard all-purpose flour). This in turn dilutes the banana flavor and adds unnecessary complexity. The flavor of the bread is also better without sour cream.

Einkorn banana bread can be stored on the counter in the dish that it was baked in, wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
