Prepare A Loaf Pan

Pre-heat your oven to 325 degrees F and spray a 9 x 5 bread loaf pan with cooking spray or thoroughly rub inside all over with a bit of butter. Dust the greased surface evenly with a layer of flour. Turn the bread pan as needed to help the flour coat the interior of the pan. Tap the pan to remove excess flour and set aside.

How To Make Banana Bread with 2 Bananas

Grab a large bowl and peel and toss in your two overripe bananas. Mash your bananas with a fork until until they form a soft gooey consistency. Some lumps in the mashed texture is normal and ok. These two little freshly mashed bananas mixed with vanilla, brown sugar, and butter will be enough to add a rich and delicious banana flavor to our loaf later on! For now, set mashed bananas aside.

Sift Flour and Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate medium bowl, grab a sifter and set it over your bowl. Add all purpose flour, salt, and baking soda. Shake the sifter to combine dry ingredients and clear any lumps as the dry mixture passes through and into the bowl. If you like a hint of warm spice in your delicious banana bread, you might add in a pinches of cinnamon at this point! Set aside.

Add Butter, Vanilla, and Egg To your Smashed Bananas

Returning to the large bowl with the smashed bananas, splash in your vanilla extract, egg, brown sugar, and melted butter. Using a hand mixer or spatula, stir everything until thoroughly mixed and combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients and Wet Ingredients to Make Easy Banana Bread

Pour half of the sifted flour mixture into the large mixing bowl with banana mixture and combine using your hand mixer or spatula. Now pour in the second half of the sifted flour mixture and continue to stir until flour is evenly mixed into the batter.

Transfer The Batter To A Loaf Pan and Bake The Banana Bread

Pour the finished batter into your prepared pan and toss in the semi-sweet chocolate chips (if using). Gently swirl the semi-sweet chocolate chips throughout the batter using a spoon or spatula to spread them around inside the loaf pan. Bake this easy banana bread recipe in your 325 degrees F preheated oven for about an hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.

The top of the loaf surface should have a nice dark brown color to it! The inside should slice up into delicious, moist, perfect banana bread! Let the banana bread loaf cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before tipping over to remove from the pan.

Set your loaf on a wire rack to continue cooling, if desired. Slice this delicious moist bread and serve warm. Enjoy early in the morning with your favorite cup of coffee or serve as a midday snack with your favorite cup of tea.
