You will love this One Banana Banana Bread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anytime you have one banana covered in brown spots, staring at you on the counter, I want you to think of me! I hope you have a mini loaf pan<\/strong><\/span><\/a> so you can make this, but if you don’t, you can use the disposable mini loaf pans easily found in the baking aisle of the grocery store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also use mini loaf pans for storing make ahead mashed potatoes<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in the freezer for two people, too! The mini size is perfect for serving two people any side dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I have kids, I frequently have one banana that we all forgot about in the pantry. I love baking with one banana because it provides so much natural sweetness and moisture to any baked good! If you’re looking for something bigger to use more bananas, you’ll love my chocolate chip banana bread recipe<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I scaled this recipe down from my Mom’s Eggless Banana Bread<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, which uses almost melted butter, wheat germ and chopped pecans. Personally, I’m leery of banana bread recipes that don’t use butter. Oil is great for moisture, but butter is better for flavor. The wheat germ is optional, just for bonus nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing that this recipe has that many others lack is honey! My mom swears by honey in her banana bread recipe. She still uses regular sugar, too, but the honey brings a floral sweetness to this bread that I love! Plus, honey brings moisture to the batter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never make another loaf of banana bread again without using butter or honey, ok? And promise me you’ll make chocolate banana muffins<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for a chocolate version at least one time..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
