Description

This 4-ingredient banana bread is unbelievably easy to make! Soft, moist, and naturally sweetened with ripe bananas, it’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. No complicated steps—just mix, bake, and enjoy!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe bananas (provide natural sweetness and moisture)
  • 2 large eggs (help bind the ingredients together)
  • 1 ½ cups self-rising flour (eliminates the need for baking powder)

 

  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey (adds a touch of sweetness)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  • Add the eggs and maple syrup (or honey) and mix well.
  • Gently fold in the self-rising flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you don’t have self-rising flour, use 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour + 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder.
  • Add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or cinnamon can enhance the flavor.
  • For extra moisture, add 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
