Get ready to revolutionize your breakfast routine or satisfy your sweet tooth with our Sheet Pan Banana Bread! It’s a breeze to make and even easier to serve, and with bananas packing a punch of potassium and fiber, you can feel good about indulging in this wholesome treat.
Is banana bread good for you?
Even though it tastes delicious, banana bread has a lot of nutrients! Bananas are rich in vitamin B, potassium, magnesium, and fiber. Ripe bananas have a great amount of natural sugars. This means we don’t need to use as much brown sugar for this banana bread to be sweet!
We use coconut oil for our banana bread. Compared to other cooking oils, coconut oil has many antioxidants and is high in vitamin E. All cooking oils are fairly high in fat, so we recommend using any oil in moderation. But coconut oil is one of our favorites!
How to make sheet pan banana bread
- Peel the ripe bananas and drop them into a large bowl. Mash them with a fork or spatula.
- Stir in brown sugar, oil, milk, and eggs until combined. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix.
- Separately, combine the salt, flour, and baking soda in a medium bowl.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet.
- Once the batter is thoroughly mixed, fold in half of chocolate chips.
- Spray a sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour the banana bread batter into the sheet pan.
- Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips on top!
- Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Note: We recommend checking at 18 minutes by sticking a wooden toothpick into the cake. If it comes out crumbly, you need a minute or two longer, if it comes out clean your banana bread is ready!
- Allow the banana bread to cool and cut it into squares.
What to add to your banana bread
Personally, we love a simple chocolate chip topping for our banana bread! It adds just the right amount of sweetness to every bite. But there are plenty of toppings you can mix in!
If you are a big fan of Nutella, you should try mixing in hazelnuts! Any crushed nut actually works really well in banana bread. We also love peanut butter chips (sometimes also called peanut butter morsels)!
Truly, the possibilities are endless. Pick your favorite mix-in and give it a shot!
Common Questions about Sheet Pan Banana Bread
What can I use instead of a loaf pan for banana bread?
You can use a simple sheet pan like we do in this recipe or you can use cake pans.
Is it better to bake banana bread in a glass pan or metal?
Metal is a better conductor of heat so your banana bread will bake more evenly in a metal pan than it will in a glass one.
When not to use bananas for bread?
Over-ripe bananas can be fantastic for banana bread. However, if you notice any mold or they smell bad, avoid using them.
Should you use parchment paper when baking banana bread?
Parchment paper is great to use when you’re making banana bread. It makes it a cinch to get it out of the pan after baking.
