This healthier one-bowl banana bread is moist, naturally sweetened, and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients. Whole wheat flour and ripe bananas create a hearty loaf perfect for breakfast or snacking.

Ingredients

  • 3 large overripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup any kind of milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add the vegetable oil, maple syrup or honey, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Add the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Fold together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Whole wheat flour provides a heartier texture, while all-purpose flour creates a lighter loaf.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • This bread freezes well for up to 3 months.
