Our 6 Favorite Banana Recipes

Found yourself with a bunch of bananas that need using up? This list has 6 delicious recipes that utilize the fragrant and multipurpose banana. Whether you’re looking for easy breakfast recipes or a decadent dessert, this roundup has options for either mood. 

1) Banana Bread

Banana Bread

Banana bread is a warm and comforting breakfast option that has the added benefit of being quite portable – perfect for busy mornings. We recommend baking a batch early in the week so that you have breakfast planned for a few days (if it lasts that long). The key to a successful banana bread that is steeped in fragrant banana flavor is the use of overripe bananas. 

2) Gluten-Free Banana Bread

Gluten Free Banana Bread

This delicious banana bread comes together thanks to a winning combination of almond flour and gluten free flour. The almond flour adds a nuttiness that perfectly complements the sweet banana, and the gluten free flour gives the bread structural support without the need for gluten. 

3) Banana French Toast

French toast is a weekend go-to when you have a little more time to enjoy your breakfast, but don’t feel like putting a lot of work in. This recipe is perfect for prepping the night before and scheduling to finish in the morning so all you have to do is roll out of bed and make coffee. 

4) Chia Seed Banana Oatmeal

Power up your morning with this chia seed and banana oatmeal. Not only are chia seeds packed with protein and fiber, but they help to thicken the oatmeal, giving it a firm texture somewhat like banana bread. We shingle the top of the oatmeal with slices of banana that we then brûlée for a breakfast as beautiful as it is tasty. 

5) Banh Chuoi (Coconut Banana Bread Pudding)

Banh Chuoi, Coconut Banana Bread Pudding

Banh chuoi is a sweet and tender Vietnamese bread pudding that is the perfect dessert or afternoon treat. There are many different variations of banh chuoi. Some are flat and fritter-like, while others are more cakey and there are those, like this one, that more closely resemble a traditional bread pudding.

6) Upside Down Banana Chocolate Cake

Upside-Down Banana Chocolate Cake

No frosting needed for this upside-down take on our classic Chocolate Stout Cake. We start this rich coffee and chocolate cake with ripe bananas in a brown sugar syrup, and finish it with a drizzle of toasty peanut butter. It’s a timeless combination of sweet and salty that makes for the perfect coffee break any time of day.
