    Homemade banana bread wrapped in a tea towel.

    Everyone needs a delicious banana bread recipe in their lives... and our Thermomix version is so simple to prepare (and tastes just like the banana bread that you'd buy from your favourite cafe!).

    Got even more ripe bananas to use up?

    Don't throw them out!

    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    We always have a batch of banana bread sitting in the pantry (or slices in the freezer). It's a great little energy booster that the kids (little and big!) love.

    • Perfect For Using Up Ripe Bananas - in our house we seem to always have zero bananas or an entire fruit bowl packed full of overripe bananas that no one wants to eat... there's no happy medium! Our Thermomix banana bread is a delicious solution to using overripe bananas.
    • Made Using Pantry Staples - forget making a trip to the supermarket... you probably already have everything you need in your pantry and fridge.
    • Versatile - add a handful of fresh strawberries or blueberries for something a little different.
    • Freezer-Friendly - I like to cut my banana bread into individual slices and freeze - perfect for lunch box snacks or a little 'grab and go' treat.
    • Suitable To All Thermomix Models - this recipe can be made in any of the Thermomix models.

    What You Need

    Say hello to the easiest ever Thermomix Banana Bread recipe!

    Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    The ingredients for banana bread.
    • Coconut Oil - if you live in a cool climate (like me!) you'll need to melt the coconut oil in the Thermomix first. If you live in a hot climate, you can omit this step.
    • Eggs - use large eggs (approx 60g each)
    • Vanilla Extract - or vanilla essence
    • Bananas - the riper the better!!! The riper the bananas are, the sweeter they will be.
    • Self Raising Flour - also known as self rising flour. This is the rising agent in our recipe.
    • Sugars - use use a combination of caster sugar and brown sugar for the perfect texture and flavour.
    • Cinnamon - use ground cinnamon.

    Step By Step Instructions

    It takes just 5 minutes to prep our Thermomix banana bread!

    Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    Step 1 - Melt and Mix

    Melt the coconut oil (if it's not already melted).

    Add the eggs, vanilla and bananas and mix until smooth and creamy.

    Step 2 - Add The Dry Ingredients

    Add the flour, sugars and the cinnamon and mix to combine.

    TIP: scrape down the sides of the bowl partway through mixing.

    Step 3 - Bake

    Bake the loaf in the oven for 55 minutes or until cooked through when tested with a skewer.

    Expert Tips

    It's so simple to make banana bread using your Thermomix.

    Here's some simple tips to follow:

    • If you live in a hot climate and your coconut oil is already melted, you can skip that step and add it along with the eggs, vanilla extract and bananas. 
    • The riper the bananas are, the better! 
    • If you find that your banana bread is over-browning, simply place a sheet of foil over the top and continue baking.
    • Your banana bread is cooked when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
    • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. 
    • If you live in a hot climate, store your banana bread in the fridge, but allow it to come to room temperature before serving.

    FAQs

    Can I use frozen bananas?

    Sure thing! You may find that you need to mix them a little longer in the Thermomix however.

    How do I know if my bananas are still OK to use?

    The general rule is that brown or starting to blacken bananas are fine to use (the riper the better). However, if the bananas smell, or are black on the inside or leaking fluid... throw them out!

    Can I freeze banana bread?

    Banana bread defrosts beautifully and can be frozen for up to 3 months.

      Mine didn’t rise at all, I used the plain flour and baking powder. Any reason why this didn’t work?

        I made mine with plain flour and baking powder and it rose perfectly. I did mix the flour with the baking powder thoroughly before using it however, maybe that did it.
        I used the standard amount of baking powder as recommended on the box, in my country it is 1 1/2 tea spoon per cup, i.e. 3 tea spoons for this recipe, at sea level (2 tea spoons at high altitude.)

        I agree with everyone else that it’s way too sweet, cut down on the sugar.

        Otherwise, fantastic recipe, highly recommended.

      Just wondering why you use plain in stead of self raising flour? That would surely make it rise less and be much more dense? Thanks. ?

      Please could you clarify temperature for a fan oven (I'm in the UK). Generally recipes have conventional, gas and fan oven temperatures. My Banana bread was like uncooked dough through the middle and at the bottom,although I checked it with a skewer. I will try again.....

        Hi Sarah,
        We're sorry to hear your banana bread didn't work out. It's 160 degrees celsius in a fan forced oven (which is what I have). I hope that helps xx

        Hi Danielle, banana bread is meant to be quite dense so you probably didnt do anything wrong at all!! We do have a couple of other banana bread recipes on the website that you might like to try and see if they're more to your liking - but they will still be dense 🙂 xx

          Hi all,
          been making a variation of this with perfect results. I do not use all that sugar and cut it down to just 50grams total sugar. I also add 40 grams of Canadian maple syrup.
          Give that a try.... yum

          yes, 185g total sugar is ridiculous. Most thermomix recipes in general are way over generous with the sugar. I cut all mine down and it doesn't alter the result.

          Hi Andrew,

          Thanks for the tip with Mapple Syrup and only 50g of Sugar. I did that and it turn out really well.

          I only put 50g of Coconut Oil too, and it was moist and not heavy.
