If you're craving a deliciously moist and easy-to-make banana bread, look no further! This One-Bowl Banana Bread is highly requested for its simplicity and unbeatable flavour. With just a few ingredients and minimal clean-up, this recipe is perfect for both beginners and seasoned bakers alike.

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 ripe bananas (the riper, the better!)
  • 3/4 cup raw sugar (or any sugar you have in your cupboard)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup oil (vegetable oil, canola oil, or any oil you prefer)
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind works – dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream (optional for extra moisture)
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence (optional, but recommended for flavour)
  • 3 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour

Method:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a loaf pan with baking paper for easy removal later.

  2. Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Don’t worry about them being perfect – the more mashed, the better!

  3. Add Wet Ingredients: To the mashed bananas, add the raw sugar, eggs, oil, milk, sour cream (if using), and vanilla essence (if using). Whisk everything together until combined and smooth.

  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle in the cinnamon and self-raising flour. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until everything is well mixed. Be careful not to over-mix.

  5. Pour & Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

  6. Cool & Serve: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice it up and enjoy the moist, flavourful goodness!

Tips:

  • If you love nuts, feel free to add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
  • To make it extra indulgent, top the bread with a drizzle of honey or your fav spread.
  • This banana bread keeps well for several days, so it’s perfect for breakfast, snacks, or as a homemade gift!

Enjoy your easy and scrumptious one-bowl banana bread!
