Easy Banana Bread Ingredients
These are the basic ingredients you’ll need to make this easy banana bread recipe (you probably already have most of them in your kitchen):
Bananas
: Start with three ripe, mashed bananas.Â
Sugar
: White sugar sweetens things up.Â
Egg
: An egg adds moisture and helps bind the banana batter together.Â
Butter
: Half a stick of melted butter lends more moisture and richness.Â
Flour
: All-purpose flour gives the easy banana bread structure.Â
Baking soda
: Baking soda acts as a leavener, which means it helps the bread rise.Â
Salt
: A teaspoon of salt enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.Â
Storage and Freezing Instructions
To store this easy banana bread: Place a paper towel at the bottom of an airtight container or in a resealable plastic bag. Place the cooled banana bread loaf on top of it, then cover the loaf with another paper towel. Seal the container tightly and store it at room temperature for about four days. You can freeze the banana bread for two to four months.Â
Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise
“Very good simple recipe,” according to one Allrecipes community member. “Sometimes less is more. Great flavor and texture. I went with dark brown sugar. Looking forward to adding spices and nuts. Perfect!”
“Easiest and best recipe I have ever used,” raves Anita Burian. “I made a large loaf the first time then started making mini loaves for gifting! Yummy!”
“I have used this recipe, faithful to the ingredients, for years and loved it,” says another Allrecipes community member. “Yesterday when I went to make it I didn't have butter so I used some of my roommate’s ghee... OMG!!!! That just took an already fantastic recipe to a new level.”

Crowd-pleaser
This recipe was very easy to follow and it came out great! I added extra bananas which worked out well. My husband loved it. The next banana bread I will add some chocolate chips. You can also add walnuts if you like, a little vanilla extract, and or brown sugar. The bread was moist but not so dense. Very flavorable. Highly recommend this recipe.

Good recipe. I tweaked it with Gluten free APF. I added chopped pecans and added a cinnamon swirl. The kids liked it.

| Readable Markdown | This delicious and easy banana bread recipe comes together quickly with budget-friendly ingredients you likely already have on hand.
## Easy Banana Bread Ingredients
These are the basic ingredients you’ll need to make this easy banana bread recipe (you probably already have most of them in your kitchen):
- **Bananas**: Start with three ripe, mashed bananas.
- **Sugar**: White sugar sweetens things up.
- **Egg**: An egg adds moisture and helps bind the banana batter together.
- **Butter**: Half a stick of melted butter lends more moisture and richness.
- **Flour**: All-purpose flour gives the easy banana bread structure.
- **Baking soda**: Baking soda acts as a leavener, which means it helps the bread rise.
- **Salt**: A teaspoon of salt enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
## Storage and Freezing Instructions
To store this easy banana bread: Place a paper towel at the bottom of an airtight container or in a resealable plastic bag. Place the cooled banana bread loaf on top of it, then cover the loaf with another paper towel. Seal the container tightly and store it at room temperature for about four days. You can freeze the banana bread for two to four months.
## Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise
“Very good simple recipe,” according to one Allrecipes community member. “Sometimes less is more. Great flavor and texture. I went with dark brown sugar. Looking forward to adding spices and nuts. Perfect!”
“Easiest and best recipe I have ever used,” raves Anita Burian. “I made a large loaf the first time then started making mini loaves for gifting! Yummy!”
“I have used this recipe, faithful to the ingredients, for years and loved it,” says another Allrecipes community member. “Yesterday when I went to make it I didn't have butter so I used some of my roommate’s ghee... OMG!!!! That just took an already fantastic recipe to a new level.”
