• You can easily make it a banana nut bread – we love to add pecans!
• It takes a few simple ingredients you probably already have!

Banana Bread Recipe Without Brown Sugar

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup of white sugar
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs, beaten (room temperature)
• 1 ½ cup mashed bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
• 3 tablespoons milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Powdered sugar for dusting

How to make this homemade banana bread:

1. Preheat oven to 350. You can use 2 smaller bread pans and make 2 mini-loaves or make 1 loaf in a regular bread pan. Grease your pan and coat it with powdered sugar.
2. In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients.
3. Place the overripe bananas in a large bowl and smoosh them with a potato masher or fork.
4. Add the eggs and beat them.
5. Then add the rest of the wet ingredients into the large mixing bowl and mix until they combined but do not over mix.
6. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and stir just until the mixture is combined.
7. Add the mixture to a prepared loaf pan.
8. Bake about 50 minutes -1 hour for the large pan or 35-45 minutes in mini loaf pans until the top of the bread is golden brown.
9. Let cool on a wire rack for at least a few minutes before you cut it into individual slices. It will fall apart if you cut it too soon but it’s so yummy when it’s warm. 

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or place in a freezer bag until you want to eat it! You can also cover it with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.

Notes: 

• You can also add parchment paper to the bread pan but also spray it with cooking spray and sprinkle it with the powdered sugar. It tastes so yummy when it’s baked onto the edges of the bread. 
• You can use a stand mixer or electric mixer to make this delicious banana bread but for best results, be sure not to overmix it.

Everyone needs a few more banana recipes to add to their collection! As a mom, some weeks the kids devour the bananas and other weeks they all sit on the counter and have tons of brown spots! So next time you have overripe bananas – this is a great way to use them up!

This is the best banana bread recipe! It’s a very moist banana bread – this will be your perfect banana bread recipe you make with just a few basic ingredients!
