Ever find yourself buying a bunch of bananas 🍌 just because they’re always on the grocery list, even though no one at home actually eats them, and then watch them slowly go bad—only to repeat the cycle the next week? Yeah, me neither 😅. But in case you feel seen (again, not me at ALL), this Blender Banana Bread recipe is for 🫵!

Fortunately, my blender works overtime at home. If there is a way for me to make something by blending all of the ingredients together in one shot, you better believe I will. This Blender Banana Bread is another one of my blender baddies that comes together with minimal time and effort, yet tastes like you’ve spent the entire day Betty Crocker-ing 👩‍🍳 it up in the kitchen.

Why You’ll Love Blender Banana Bread

If you’re a fan of my other blender sensations like my Whole Lemon Blender Cake or Whole Orange Blender Cake, you’re going to love this Blender Banana Cake 🍌. Following the same simple method, where all ingredients are tossed into a blender, blended, and then poured into a pan to bake, this Banana Bread is ridiculously simple to make while giving you pro-level texture and taste 🤌. This recipe is ideal for busy mornings, quick cravings or baking sessions with your kiddos. You’ll have a perfectly moist and flavorful loaf with minimal cleanup and no fancy baking skills required!

How to Prepare Blender Banana Bread

🌡️ Preheat oven to 375F (190C).

🍌 To a blender add: 2 ripe bananas, avocado oil, 2 eggs, and almond milk.

🍁 Next, add in the maple syrup, flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt.

🌀 Blend on high for 20 seconds and pour into a lined loaf pan.

🌰 Sprinkle the top of the batter with chopped walnuts.

⏲️ Finally, bake for 45 to 55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean (it will depend on the oven).

Nonna’s Tip 🍫

Top the loaf with any extra ingredients you love: chocolate chips, any chopped nuts, seeds or dried fruit.

Variations and Substitutions for Blender Banana Bread

  1. Instead of maple syrup, you could also use 🍯 honey or agave syrup.
  2. After blending, you could stir in extra ingredients to the batter, such as chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans), dried fruit, seeds or 🍫 chocolate chips.
  3. Use any 🥛 milk you prefer.
  4. You could also add in a sprinkle of cinnamon to the blender for a warming flavor.
  5. Instead of avocado oil, you can use 🥥 coconut oil, vegetable oil, or canola oil.

Equipment Notes

  • This recipe was designed to be made using my favorite blender, but you can certainly make it without! If you have a food processor, you can absolutely use it instead.
  • If you don’t want to make this Banana Bread using any small appliances, you can kick it old school. Simply mash the 🍌 bananas really well in a mixing bowl, then stir in the wet ingredients, followed by the dry ingredients.
  • I’ve used a standard loaf pan to bake this Blender Banana Bread, but you can also use a muffin tin with paper cups, or a silicone variety. Just adjust the bake time to around 20 minutes and use the toothpick method to confirm they’re fully baked.

I lived in Greece on the Island of Crete with my parents for a while and then moved to Toronto, Canada when I was in grade 5. I started to really cook and experiment with food 11 years ago when I was 21 years old. Everything I currently know is a reflection of some part of my life…

    I am OBSESSED with this recipe! I am always buying bananas that go uneaten…but this recipe is the solution! Quick, easy and delicious!

    Loved the chocolate banana bread. The blender one was really odd and we threw it out. Looked undercooked when cooled but wasn’t at time. Maybe beaten too high in blender? Thought?

    1. Hi there! it probably needed more time as that will depend on the oven, also don’t blend for more than 20 seconds. Hope you try it again ❤️

    1. Hi Toni, yes it can but the ratio will be different as almond flour is a lot more absorbent so you will have to experiment here.
