Banana Bread Mini Loaves
Hi friends! Happy National Banana Bread Day! Are you a banana bread fan?! I so am. Maybe a close second to my all time favorite Pumpkin Nut Bread. And a prerequisite to any bread recipe for me is it has to be easy. Like one bowl and forget about it easy. And this recipe for these Banana Bread Mini Loaves is just that.
Banana Bread Ingredients
Seriously. We actually look forward to when we have a few bananas that didn’t get devoured by the boys. Once they’re nice and ripe I just mash them up, mix in some butter, sugar, flour and a few more ingredients and we’re good to go!
How to Make Banana Bread
Now this recipe can make a regular-sized loaf of banana bread but because I like mine without nuts and my husband likes his WITH, I grabbed my favorite Wilton Mini Loaf Pan!
TOOLS USED TO MAKE THIS RECIPE:
- LOAF PAN: I love this mini loaf maker!
- BREAD KNIFE: The best bread knife out there for your buck!

Banana bread is long time favorite for us 🙂 {I’d definitely be on the no-nut half lol!}
Haha, I’m with you there, Kate! 🙂
I love banana bread! These mini loafs are so cute!
How full do I fill my loaf pans?
Great question, Margaret! I always do about 2/3rd’s full. Hope that helps!
Just made this and very pleased with ease of recipe (no dragging out mixer or time consuming prep) and the flavor! Followed recipe but added walnuts to top. Delicious, definitely a keeper and next time maybe I’ll add a few mini semisweet chips! This was a quick recipe from start to finish and will be using from now on! Thanks for sharing!
So happy to hear that, Linda! I also love how easy they are to whip up. Perfect for those ripe bananas!
Hi,
I made these today. I used a four cavity mini loaf pan –greased and floured the cavities because I wasn’t going to risk it. 😉
Mine baked 25 min in a convection-mode oven, cooled them 10 min in the pan before turning them out–lovely brown color on them.
The recipe is very forgiving –I goofed and added my egg with the butter and bananas before mashing eeek. I was worried the egg would be overbeaten by the time I was done with the recipe, but the little loaves came out great!
Thanks for the recipe!
So happy to hear that, Dianne!
Hi just made this recipe tonight, looking for banana bread that didn’t take an hour or so. Use that mini loaf pan after all these years in back of cabinet. Came out great, light texture and great brown on sides and bottom. The only thing I would suggest is grease the each loaf with shortening, which I did and didn’t stick at all. This is a keeper!
