4 Ingredient Banana Bread
The easiest, most satisfying banana bread you'll ever make with just four simple ingredients. Perfect for using up overripe bananas and ready in under an hour.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Fork
- Loaf Pan
Ingredients
- 3 medium Overripe Bananas the riper, the better
- 14 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk adds sweetness and moisture
- 2 cups Self-Rising Flour pre-mixed with baking powder & salt
- ½ cup Optional Mix-ins chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5” loaf pan.
- Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl until mostly smooth.
- Stir in condensed milk until fully combined.
- Gradually add self-rising flour, mixing gently. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, if using.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes.
- Check for doneness with a toothpick—it should have moist crumbs, not be completely dry.
- Let cool for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, swap condensed milk for 1 cup Greek yogurt + ¼ cup honey. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze slices for later.
