3 Bananas Banana Bread Recipe
This 3 Bananas Banana Bread Recipe is super moist, delicious and easy to make. It’s the perfect way to use up those overripe bananas and is loaded with sweet banana flavor.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe mashed bananas
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup butter
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup buttermilk
- Optional: ½-1 cup chopped nuts chocolate chips, or dates
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sift together your dry ingredients: 2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
- Next, use a large mixing bowl to cream 1 cup of sugar and ½ cup of butter in a large mixing bowl before whisking in 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Stir in the ½ cup of buttermilk and the 3 mashed bananas. Then, fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and bake at 350F for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Let cool for at least 30 minutes before running a knife around the perimeter of the loaf pan and inverting the banana bread loaf and transferring it onto a cooling rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temp with butter, nutella, or peanut butter. Enjoy!
Notes
Use ripe bananas for this recipe. See above for how to ripen bananas in the oven.
Make sure your baking soda and baking powder are both still good to ensure your banana bread isn't dense.
Don't over mix your batter. You don't want pockets of dry flour, but it's okay if the batter isn't 100% smooth either.
