- 3 medium ripe bananas mashed (about 1½ cups)
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional Add-Ins:
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
½ cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.
Whisk in the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla until fully combined.
Stir in the Bisquick, sugar, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Mix gently just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
- Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness and moisture.
- Measure mashed banana to ensure about 1½ cups for optimal texture.
- Avoid overmixing once the baking mix is added to keep the loaf tender.
- Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- This bread freezes beautifully for easy grab-and-go portions. Wrap slices individually and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
