Brilliant Blender Banana Bread is the ideal way to use those overripe bananas in your fruit bowl. I’ve been making this recipe for Banana Bread for 10 years and it has never disappointed.
I made it even easier by making it in a High Performance Personal Blender Set.
Banana Bread is delicious on its own and even better spread with butter. It makes a great breakfast, snack or tea time treat.
How to make Brilliant Blender Banana Bread
The Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you are going to need to make the Brilliant Blender Banana Bread: Three very ripe bananas, two eggs, butter, raisins, sugar, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and self-raising flour.
Blending the ingredients
Put all the ingredients in the blender in the order I’ve outlined in the recipe and blend until smooth. Then stir in the raisins. You don’t want to blend the raisins or the last banana because they will be completely pulped and you want to retain some texture..
It was so simple to make this Brilliant Blender Banana Bread, once you have all your ingredients gathered together, you just pop them in the 1 L cup and off you go!
Although the blade looks messy you will see that the base unit didn’t get any mixture on it, that’s because you are taking the sealed unit away from the electrics before opening.
How long do I bake the Banana Bread for?
Pour into your tin and bake and after 45 minutes you will have a loaf cake full of flavour, and very moreish.
How long will the Banana Bread keep for?
It will keep for several days wrapped in foil if you don’t eat it all first. Once it is completely cold, you can slice it and open freeze the slices, then take one out whenever you fancy something sweet.
You can even warm a slice of Brilliant Blender Banana Bread in the microwave for 20 seconds and top with ice cream, sliced banana and toffee sauce for a fabulous dessert
As you can see, the loaf rose perfectly and took on a beautiful golden brown colour, it really was super simple. If you are new to baking then this recipe is a place to start.
Can I bake banana bread in my air fryer?
I have developed a recipe for Air Fryer Banana Bread which makes a 1lb loaf with only 100g (1/4 cup) of mashed banana. It’s ideal if you only want a small loaf and don’t want to heat up the oven.

I have always my my grandmother’s banana bread recipe but I will try yours next time the bananas are ready!!
Janice Pattie says
It’s lovely to have recipes passed down from family. I have a few from my grandmother and my mother too. This recipe came to me via a craft group with very little instruction, but it’s so reliable and tastes great.

I notice that the raisins are still ‘recognisable’. Did you mix those in after blending I. The
I notice that the raisins are still ‘recognisable’ in the cake. Did you mix them in after blending all the other ingredients? Looks a lovely cake.
Janice Pattie says
Yes, the raisins are stirred in with a spatula right at the end.
Jane says
Mmmm, I haven’t had banana bread in way too long, and I have some very sad looking bananas in my fruit bowl right now that would be just perfect for this 🙂

Janice Pattie says
It’s one of those bakes that suggests itself, or rather the sad bananas suggest it for you!
Emma @ Supper in the Suburbs says
Well that certainly makes making banana bread a hell of a lot quick! And I reckon less washing up too! Great recipe 🙂
Janice Pattie says
It certainly does cut the time and the washing up!
Choclette says
You are a genius Janice. I never thought to make banana bread or any other cake mixture in a blender before. It looks delicious and I’m going to have to try it. I’m loving this newest of the Froothie blenders.
Janice Pattie says
I’m not sure It warrants genius status, but thank you. It’s just another type of mixer ☺️
Choclette says
I’m happy to stick with the genius statement. Still haven’t tried it, but it’s on my list ….
Janice Pattie says
Thank you. It is rather spectacular!
Jacqueline Meldrum says
Now why didn’t I think of making banana bread in my blender? What a great idea. I am definitely doing this next time. It looks amazing Janice. Shared!
Janice Pattie says
Thanks Jac, it works well and I was pleased with the resulting bake.
kellie@foodtoglow says
What a fantastic idea! I use my Optimum 9400 Froothie blender for loads of things but never batters like this. Definitely giving this idea a whirl. And your tried and trusted recipe sounds gorgeous, too. As well as your quick heat idea for topping with ice cream, banana and toffee sauce 🙂
Janice Pattie says
Thanks Kellie, it never did make it into the freezer, we ate it all! Maybe next time!
Corina Blum says
This banana bread sounds delicious and I love the fact that I can mix it all up in my Froothie Evolve too! We’ve always got too many overripe bananas!
Janice Pattie says
Thank you, it’s one of our favourites
Jo Allison says
You can never have enough good banana bread recipes as they all differ slightly. We tend to have a banana bread on the go almost weekly in our house as we all love it and it’s just such a great way of using those overripe bananas. I love the fact that now I can prepare the cake batter in seconds using my Froothie Evolve. Very happy! 🙂
Janice Pattie says
I hope you will give it a try, Jo. It really is a bit of a revelation!
Lucy says
I’ve never tried blending up banana bread mixture but now I certainly need to give it a go! This looks delicious Janice.
Janice Pattie says
Thank you. It just seemed like it was worth trying and it worked really well.
Outlander says
This looks wonderful and reminds me of a big favourite of mine, the humble malt loaf. I know it’s not a malt loaf as there is no malt in it and it’s not a yeasted sticky delight, but it looks just as inviting to my eyes _ I wonder if I can adapt it a little, tweak the ingredients and make it even more malt loafish ???
