You don’t need old bananas. Brown your yellow bananas by placing them on a baking sheet in the oven on 300 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool and cut them off and squeeze the softened bananas into a bowl including the natural juices. This will turn your mashing time in to less than 30 seconds.2. Use 4 bananas3. I used a bundlette pan and cooked for 20-25 minutes.4. I made a glaze: 1 tsp Pancake Syrup, 4 tsp of butter, 1 cup of confectioners sugar, a sprinkle of salt and heavy cream as needed for binding and consistency. After it sets I microwaved some butter and went over the glaze again. It gives it like a salty sweet crunch.\n\n03 of 240\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  pqchuchu\n\n07\/22\/2025\n\nVery good indeed. But I suspect maybe another banana (4 instead of 3) might somehow add more moisture and flavor to this already yummy recipe… Knowing I always mess up even with simple recipe, I stuck to the original (recipe) just in case it doesn’t come together. Reading other posts, I wish I had added a bit more vanilla extract and banana. Overall, it’s a wonderful recipe that’s a keeper. My go-to when baking banana bread, is always using the mini-loaf pan instead of the bigger loaf pan so I can share them with friends and not feel guilty eating all these.\n\n04 of 240\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  GoldenTaco2444\n\n10\/13\/2024\n\nFamily favorite\n\nI’ve been following thisRecipe for years. Always turns out and always super moist One time I added a half cup of peanut butter. I didn’t make any other adjustments and it turned out great. It was very moist.\n\n05 of 240\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Allrecipes Member\n\n09\/10\/2023\n\nMade as written with the exception of the nuts and choco chips because I didn't have them. Not a big banana bread fan, but i enjoyed this very much. Would definitely make again.Edit: 2023 and I’m still making this. I have to be gluten free now, and this recipe still works. I sub in a gf 1:1 flour, let the batter sit for 30 minutes then bake. Still perfect every time.\n\n06 of 240\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  connie\n\n07\/30\/2023\n\nThese are in the oven. I hate making substitutes in recipes but I did with this one. I didn’t have baking powder so I used self-rising flour. Only had 2 bananas, and I didn’t follow the recipe cause I thought I knew it all. I mixed my sugar in with the flour, so I had to mix my margarine in with the banana . Yes I used margarine instead of butterbecause dollar general did not have real butter, what’s up with that?This has become my go to recipe for banana bread. The only thing I changed was that I used black walnuts and omitted the chocolate chips because I believe they are only for cookies. I will be making another batch tonight for breakfast tomorrow morning\n\n07 of 240\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Anthony Maggio\n\n07\/16\/2023\n\nTastes delicious, the two things I changed was I used 4 bananas and 1\/2 teaspoon vanilla.\n\n08 of 240\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  MirthChive8559\n\n04\/16\/2023\n\nBanana bread was soft, it smelled good, and overall tasted pretty good\\!\n\n09 of 240\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  mcooks\n\n04\/04\/2023\n\nDelicious, moist with crispy edges, & I used 1\/3 c mini choc chips.

Banana bread is one of those things people rarely make on purpose — only when those last 3 bananas are almost black. However, this scrumptious loaf is so good you'll want to make it well before the bananas reach that condition.

I got 12 really big muffins." Keep Screen Awake ## Ingredients 1/2x 1x 2x Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. This recipe was developed at its original yield. Ingredient amounts are automatically adjusted, but cooking times and steps remain unchanged. Note that not all recipes scale perfectly. Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings - cooking spray - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 cup white sugar - ½ cup butter, softened - 3 ripe bananas, mashed - 2 large eggs - 1 tablespoon milk - ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup chopped walnuts - ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips ## Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat a 9x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. 2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. 3. Beat together sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add mashed bananas and mix until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in milk and vanilla. 4. Stir in flour mixture, walnuts, and chocolate chips until just incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Tap pan on the counter to release any air pockets. 5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let rest in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove bread from the pan, then slice and serve. ![close up view of sliced Banana Bread on a white platter]() ![close up view of sliced Banana Bread on a white platter](https://www.allrecipes.com/thmb/wlhM4WG3tbLBHQJhw5f0pLFSs4s=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale\(\):max_bytes\(150000\):strip_icc\(\)/8083524-chef-johns-banana-bread-ArmyRD-1x1-1-45d46eeb577843cea184a5fb673b3d87.jpg) ArmyRD Save Rate 2,043 home cooks made it\!

Add Your Photo ## Photos of Chef John's Banana Bread 01 of 240 ![]() Photo by ArmyRD 02 of 240 ![]() Photo by Poetic Justice 08/16/2025 A keeper\! 1\. You don’t need old bananas. Brown your yellow bananas by placing them on a baking sheet in the oven on 300 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool and cut them off and squeeze the softened bananas into a bowl including the natural juices. This will turn your mashing time in to less than 30 seconds.2. Use 4 bananas3. I used a bundlette pan and cooked for 20-25 minutes.4. I made a glaze: 1 tsp Pancake Syrup, 4 tsp of butter, 1 cup of confectioners sugar, a sprinkle of salt and heavy cream as needed for binding and consistency. After it sets I microwaved some butter and went over the glaze again. It gives it like a salty sweet crunch. 03 of 240 ![]() Photo by pqchuchu 07/22/2025 Very good indeed. But I suspect maybe another banana (4 instead of 3) might somehow add more moisture and flavor to this already yummy recipe… Knowing I always mess up even with simple recipe, I stuck to the original (recipe) just in case it doesn’t come together. Reading other posts, I wish I had added a bit more vanilla extract and banana. Overall, it’s a wonderful recipe that’s a keeper. My go-to when baking banana bread, is always using the mini-loaf pan instead of the bigger loaf pan so I can share them with friends and not feel guilty eating all these. 04 of 240 ![]() Photo by GoldenTaco2444 10/13/2024 Family favorite I’ve been following thisRecipe for years. Always turns out and always super moist One time I added a half cup of peanut butter. I didn’t make any other adjustments and it turned out great. It was very moist. 05 of 240 ![]() Photo by Allrecipes Member 09/10/2023 Made as written with the exception of the nuts and choco chips because I didn't have them. Not a big banana bread fan, but i enjoyed this very much. Would definitely make again.Edit: 2023 and I’m still making this. I have to be gluten free now, and this recipe still works. I sub in a gf 1:1 flour, let the batter sit for 30 minutes then bake. Still perfect every time. 06 of 240 ![]() Photo by connie 07/30/2023 These are in the oven. I hate making substitutes in recipes but I did with this one. I didn’t have baking powder so I used self-rising flour. Only had 2 bananas, and I didn’t follow the recipe cause I thought I knew it all. I mixed my sugar in with the flour, so I had to mix my margarine in with the banana . Yes I used margarine instead of butterbecause dollar general did not have real butter, what’s up with that?This has become my go to recipe for banana bread. The only thing I changed was that I used black walnuts and omitted the chocolate chips because I believe they are only for cookies. I will be making another batch tonight for breakfast tomorrow morning 07 of 240 ![]() Photo by Anthony Maggio 07/16/2023 Tastes delicious, the two things I changed was I used 4 bananas and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. 08 of 240 ![]() Photo by MirthChive8559 04/16/2023 Banana bread was soft, it smelled good, and overall tasted pretty good\! 09 of 240 ![]() Photo by mcooks 04/04/2023 Delicious, moist with crispy edges, & I used 1/3 c mini choc chips.

Readable Markdown	This banana bread by Chef John is spiked with dark chocolate chips and walnuts. Banana bread is one of those things people rarely make on purpose — only when those last 3 bananas are almost black. However, this scrumptious loaf is so good you'll want to make it well before the bananas reach that condition.

Keep Screen Awake Ingredients 1/2x 1x 2x Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings - cooking spray - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 cup white sugar - ½ cup butter, softened - 3 ripe bananas, mashed - 2 large eggs - 1 tablespoon milk - ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup chopped walnuts - ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips ## Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat a 9x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. 2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. 3. Beat together sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add mashed bananas and mix until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
