4 Ingredient Banana Bread
This 4 Ingredient Banana Bread is a quick, easy, and healthy recipe made with simple, nourishing ingredients for a soft, fluffy, and delicious treat perfect for any time of day.
Equipment
- 2lb Loaf Tin (see notes for other sizes)
- Fork
Ingredients
- 350 g Banana (3 large bananas) - around 1 ½ cups
- 2 Large Eggs
- 100 g Sugar - ½ cup
- 180 g Self-Raising Flour - 1 ½ cups
- 1 Banana for the top (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 2lb loaf tin with parchment paper.
- If needed, ripen your bananas by placing them (in their peels) on a plate in the oven while it preheats.
- Mash three ripe bananas in a mixing bowl using a fork, whisk, or potato masher until smooth.
- Add eggs and sugar to the mashed bananas and whisk until fully combined.
- Sift self-raising flour into the bowl and gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin, smoothing the top. Optionally, slice a banana in half lengthwise and place it on top for decoration.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking for doneness with a skewer or toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the banana bread to cool completely in the tin before slicing and serving.

Notes
TIPS & NOTES:
MEASUREMENTS:
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and the recipe will come out perfectly.
NUTRITIONAL INFO:
These nutritional values are provided as a guide only and may be different depending on your ingredients and measurements.
- For the best flavor and sweetness, use ripe, spotty bananas. If your bananas aren't ripe, pop them in the oven while it preheats to caramelize them.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure your banana bread stays soft and fluffy. Fold until just combined.
- If using a smaller loaf tin, increase the baking time slightly. For a larger tin, check for doneness earlier to avoid overbaking.
- Customize your banana bread with mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or cinnamon for added flavor.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
