small banana bread

This quick and easy one-banana banana bread recipe can be made with just one banana and a few pantry staples. It bakes up moist and sweet with a decadent cinnamon sugar crust.

One-banana Banana Bread

(100 grams) granulated sugar

½ cup (60 grams) all-purpose flour

nutmeg

baking powder

baking soda

salt (*)

overripe banana

(42 grams) salted butter (melted*)

(4 grams) granulated sugar

cinnamon

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a mini loaf pan, line with parchment paper sling (optional), and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate medium bowl, mash the banana and whisk in the egg until well-combined. Pour banana mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just-combined.

Add melted butter, and mix until butter is incorporated into the batter. Don’t over mix, but there should not be pools of butter remaining around the edges of the batter.

Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan, leaving ¾ inch of space from the top of the pan (discard extra batter if there is too much).

Directions

In a small bowl, stir together sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter.

Optional Cinnamon Sugar Crust

Bake for 30 to 38 minutes, until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Allow to cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before removing and slicing.

Serve and enjoy.

Made this recipe tonight! So yummy! Added 1T of mini chocolate chips for the hubs, and switched to gluten-free flour and monkfruit for mine. They both turned out perfect...will definitely be using this recipe again.

I loved this banana bread!  I forced myself not to eat it all at once so I could enjoy it for more than one day.  Now I have to wait for another ripe banana to try the chocolate version.

This is actually the best banana bread I have ever made! It is really good and I have made it 2x this week :-)

This was the most delicious banana bread ever!  It was exactly what we needed for 2.  And the recipe was so darn easy.  I will add walnuts next time.  Thank you so much for this recipe.

Hi Joanie! I had one overripe banana that I didn't want to freeze so I followed your recipe exactly as written to bake Banana Bread For One. It was so easy, moist and delicious. This recipe is a keeper that I will definitely make again.

I made this in my air fryer, and it came out delicious and moist!  I cooked it at 300 for 20 minutes, then turned it down to 280 for another 10 minutes.  Added a little bit of chocolate chips, too.   Yum!

Hi Joanie, I’ve been receiving your emails and bookmarking many recipes. Just tried this one cause I had a banana looking at me.  Wonderful and so easy. I used a wire wisk for the whole thing insead of dragging out the mixer. I do enjoy cooking but I don’t bake sweets, this is a good one for beginners. My results have inspired me to try more.

This such a delicious recipe. I subbed monk fruit sweetener for the sugar 1:1 and coconut oil for the butter. It is super moist and (again) delicious. This recipe is amazing and I love that it's a nice small size.
