Easy Banana Bread Recipe

This banana bread recipe is moist, delicious and SO easy to make! NO mixer required! Just a few simple steps and you are on your way to a crowd pleaser that will drive everyone BANANAS!

What you will need:

• 5 RIPE bananas: the riper the better…those bananas that are sitting in your fruit basket getting blotchy and spotty and black are perfect.  The more ripe they are the more moist the banana bread will be. DARK yellow with lots of black spots. 
• Semi-sweet chocolate bar: you will need 4 oz. 
• Pan: I like to bake in a bundt pan, but you can certainly use a loaf pan as well. Here are a couple options. The baking time is the same regardless.

  • Loaf Pan:  https://amzn.to/3tuSEHd

How to store banana bread:

• Firstly, you need to let your banana bread cool completely before wrapping, storing, or serving
• Store for a few days on the counter, but you have to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and go the extra step of putting in a ziplock or container with a lid
• You can also store in the refrigerator and it will last about 6-8 days
