This one-bowl banana bread is incredibly moist, tender, and made with wholesome ingredients. No mixer required, it’s a forgiving recipe that turns out perfectly every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium very ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed)
  • ⅓ cup (75g) melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • ½ cup (80g) coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60ml) plain Greek yogurt or buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups (210g) whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup optional mix-ins (chopped walnuts, pecans, dark chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. Optionally, line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. Add melted coconut oil (or butter), coconut sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Whisk or stir until combined and smooth.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined (a few lumps are fine). If using mix-ins, fold them in now.
  5. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If top browns too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes.
  6. Let bread cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then lift out (using parchment sling if used) and transfer to rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and flavor. Don’t overmix the batter to avoid tough bread. Let bread cool completely before slicing for clean slices. Leftover slices can be toasted for a crispy edge.
