With only 8 ingredients and 10 minutes, you’ll be nibbling on a yummy (and convenient!) bite of banana bread goodness — without the baking and waiting.
Recipe Tips:
- If you’re having trouble getting the dough to form by stirring, use clean hands to mix everything together.
- This is a great recipe to make with brown, overripe bananas. If your banana isn’t super ripe, heat it in the microwave for 1 minute to get a softer texture and better flavor.
- Swap finely chopped walnuts for chocolate chips, if desired.
