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.

- 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.

- Bananas - the riper the better!!! The riper the bananas are, the sweeter they will be.

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
Sure thing! You may find that you need to mix them a little longer in the Thermomix however.
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!
Banana bread defrosts beautifully and can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I just made the banana bread. Cut sugar (added 2 tbspoons only) as bananas was sweet. Added poppy seeds. It came out perfect. I love little crunch outside and moist texture inside.
Nicole says
The whole family absolutely loves this recipe. It's quick and easy to make too!
Hilda says
If I freeze the bread, do i need to reheat it or just let it thaw when we want to eat?
Lucy says
You can either let is thaw and eat it at room temp or heat it up!
Nikki Higgins says
Simply WOW! I won’t ever make another recipe for Banana Braad. This was so simple and easy. Followed the recipe and sprinkled a little brown sugar over the top and came out beautiful and fluffy. This is definitely my ‘go to’ recipe from now on!
Lucy says
Fantastic!

Smells amazing straight out of the oven. What is the best way of storing the Banana Bread?

Hi Benella, in an airtight container at room temp (or wrapped in a tea towel at room temp)

Renee says

Lucy says
We're so glad you like it!
Mel says
Great recipe. My “go to” recipe when my bananas start to look a bit tired. And for anyone who accidentally used too many eggs at breakfast time (guilty!) this works just as well with one egg and a bit of extra banana.
Lucy says
Thanks Mel - we're so glad you like it!
Brooke says
This is divine! I added an extra egg and an extra banana and decreased the castor sugar to 30g hoping it would still work and it’s incredible! I want to eat the whole loaf!
Kalyn says
This was rich and yum and add a little bose
Amy says
Can I sub the flour in this for Gluten Free flour? I love this bread but have just gone gluten free.
Lucy says
Hi Amy, many of our readers have made this with gluten-free flour (but I personally haven't so can't tell you if it works or not!)
Larissa says
I reduced the caster sugar to approximately 30g and worked perfectly. Might even reduce further next time. I also halved a banana and placed on top before cooking. Delicious! This one didn’t last long in our house. Thank you for the recipe.
Jodie Tasker says

You could substitute for butter or normal oil 🙂
Gillian says
