One Bowl Banana Bread Recipe

One Bowl Banana Bread is a go-to staple. Kids love to eat it for breakfast or a snack, and it’s easy to eat on the run. I have tried out tons of banana bread recipes in my time, but I have managed to create my favorite. And the best part, it’s super easy to make and is actually a much healthier version than you’ll find at the coffee shops.

Firstly, you will need a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Use cooking spray to grease the pan to ensure that the bread releases.

Then, in a large bowl combine the ripe bananas, yogurt, eggs, butter, and sugars. I like to use a combination of white and brown sugar to sweeten this loaf.

Use a handheld mixer to mix the ingredients together. No need to mash the bananas ahead of time. Ripe bananas will mash beautifully using just a handheld mixer.

Then, add in the dry ingredients directly to the batter. This included flour, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Then, use the handheld mixer or a spoon to mix in the dry ingredients. However, if you don’t have ground flax, you could substitute antlers ¼ cup of flour or whole-wheat flour. As for the chia seeds, you can omit them altogether if desired. However, chia seeds are a protein-packed superfood and you should definitely try them if you haven’t already.

Pour batter into pan and bake

Lastly, pour the batter into your prepared baking pan. Bake for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the banana bread comes out clean.

Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely. You can store the banana bread in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze in an airtight container for up to two months.

So, if you love banana bread, be sure to give this recipe a try! Great for breakfast or a midday snack, one bite and you will not be disappointed.
