No reviews

A remarkably moist, pantry-friendly banana bread made with just 3 ingredients — ripe bananas, eggs, and flour.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (10–12 slices) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/4 cups)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 5×9-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash bananas with a fork until smooth. Whisk in eggs until fully combined.
  3. Stir in flour until just incorporated — do not overmix.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  6. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, add 1/4 cup yogurt or applesauce (making it 4 ingredients).
  • Use overripe bananas with lots of brown spots for maximum sweetness.
  • To make gluten-free, use certified GF oat flour or almond flour (add 1 tsp baking powder).
