I love creating new banana bread recipes all the time, especially banana bread with minimal ingredients so I can bake something yummy in no time, like my Eggless Banana Bread, 4-Ingredient Banana Bread, or Healthy Banana Zucchini Bread. I created this new recipe based on my 3-ingredient banana muffin recipe. Unfortunately, yogurt doesn’t work very well as a binder in a 3-ingredient banana bread recipe. My first attempt came out gummy, packed and uncooked in the center. That’s why I chose to bake with coconut condensed milk. To cut down on sugar, I used a sugar-free coconut condensed milk, but, any condensed milk will deliver great texture. Overall, the texture is chewier and heavier than my classic eggless banana bread, but still delicious for a quick breakfast.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Overripe Bananas – Pick very ripe banana for the best banana flavors. But, you can work with any ripeness level. Self-Rising Flour – or make your own by stirring 2 teaspoons of baking powder per cup of all-purpose flour. I haven’t tried all-purpose gluten-free flour, so I can’t guarantee it works. Coconut Condensed Milk – I am using a sugar-free version, but any condensed milk works in this recipe.
Optional Add-Ons
You can add flavor and texture to the bread by stirring some of the following ingredients in the batter:
1 teaspoon of cinnamon 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1/3 cup of almond flour or rolled oats for a boost of fiber, proteins, and healthy fats. 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
Preparation
Expert Tips
After all my attempts at making the best 3-ingredient banana bread, I can give you all my expert tips before you to make it perfectly:
It has only 3 ingredients, so measure the ingredients with high precision. Grease the pan very well. Cool down gently. Don’t remove from the oven or the pan too quickly. A big shock of temperature makes this banana bread drastically sink in the middle.
Serving
This banana bread is delicious as a easy breakfast bread with some toppings like:
Peanut butter Almond butter Date caramel Chia seed jam
