Emelie’s banana bread recipe

22 Jun 2026
Serves: Depends on how well you can control yourself
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 45 – 60 minutes
Ingredients
2-3 bananas (mashed)
75g butter (melted)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch of salt
150 sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
205g all-purpose flour
Method
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Butter a loaf pan to prevent the bread from sticking. You can also line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Mash the bananas in a bowl, then add the melted butter and mix well.
- Mix in the remaining ingredients, stirring until everything is combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or longer depending on your oven, until the bread has risen and is cooked through. Don't worry if the bread is a bit "wet" in the center.
- Let the bread cool before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious banana bread!
Bonus tip:
If you're baking this for an event or special occasion, it's best to bake it the day before – it's almost even better the next day!
