3 Ingredient Banana Bread
This easy banana bread tastes like a traditional yeast bread but without any yeast. It also doesn't contain any butter, oil, eggs or refined sugar!
Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp (279 grams) very ripe bananas, pureed, (see note)
- 2 cups (250 grams) self-rising flour, or combine 2 cups all purpose flour + 1 tbsp baking powder + ½ tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (4 oz) whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 4 inch baking loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk until smooth. Batter will be very thick. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Because this batter is thick and sticky, make sure to use a spatula to scrape the edges of the bowl to get all of the batter into the pan.
- Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until top of the bread is browned and toothpick inserted comes out clean. When you apply pressure to the surface of the bread, it should bounce back instead of sinking in. Let bread cool fully before cutting and serving. To let the banana flavor develop even more fully, leave the bread until the next day to consume.
Notes
- The bananas should be pureed in a food processor or blender until they reach a liquid consistency. The 1 cup + 2 tbsp is measured after the bananas are pureed. See the post for details of why the bananas are pureed instead of mashed.
- The recipe measurements are using US cups.
- If you are making your own self-rising flour, add the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk until combined before mixing with the other ingredients in the recipe.
- Whole milk can be replaced with milk alternatives like almond milk or soy milk.
- This is not a sweet banana bread. You can make it a sweet bread by adding a few tablespoons of maple syrup or sugar to the batter. Adding sugar may increase baking time.
- This is also not a cake bread that you often find for banana bread. The bread is more like a yeast bread but made with a leavening agent instead of yeast.
