This One Banana Banana Bread recipe really is made with just a single banana and is delicious with loads of cinnamon and banana flavor. It is a small batch recipe that uses simple pantry staples in just a few easy steps.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ripe banana (mashed)
- ½ cup cinnamon applesauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- Optional - 1/2 cup chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks
- For greasing the pan – shortening or extra butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a loaf pan with shortening or butter.
- Cream the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. (You can also use a hand mixer and mixing bowl)
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Next add the mashed banana, applesauce, sour cream, and nuts or chocolate (if using) to the banana mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the center of the loaf is set.
- Remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack. Slice, serve, and enjoy.
Notes
- You can use this batter to make banana muffins. Fill the muffin pan cups 3/4 full of batter and reduce baking time to about 25 - 30 minutes.
- Ripe, or overripe bananas work best in this recipe. Use a spotted or brown banana.
- Store in an airtight container for 3 - 4 days.
