How Long Do You Cook Mini Loaf Pans

These Banana Bread Mini Loaves can be made with just one bowl and one pan! So easy and delicious!

Hi friends! Happy National Banana Bread Day! Are you a banana bread fan?! I so am. Maybe a close second to my all time favorite Pumpkin Nut Bread. And a prerequisite to any bread recipe for me is it has to be easy. Like one bowl and forget about it easy. And this recipe for these Banana Bread Mini Loaves is just that.

Seriously. We actually look forward to when we have a few bananas that didn't get devoured by the boys. Once their nice and ripe I just mash them up, mix in some butter, sugar, flour and a few more ingredients and we're good to go! Now this recipe can make a regular-sized loaf of banana bread but because I like mine without nuts and my husband likes his WITH, I grabbed my favorite Wilton Mini Loaf Pan!

Now I can make half our banana bread with and half without nuts. Problem solved.

Not to mention that these sweet little Banana Bread Mini Loaves are delicious! Personally I think they're perfectly sized to have warmed up with your morning coffee or for a sweet treat in the afternoon!
