3 ingredient banana bread

I discovered this 3 Ingredient Banana Bread recipe during a pantry challenge when I had overripe bananas but limited supplies. What started as kitchen necessity has become my most shared recipe. Friends can't believe something so simple can taste so complete.

The magic is in its straightforward approach—just three everyday ingredients transform into a moist, flavorful bread that tastes like you used a traditional recipe with a dozen components. What makes it special is how the natural sweetness and moisture from the bananas do most of the heavy lifting. My colleague Jen, who swears she "can't bake," now makes this regularly after I shared how foolproof it is.

I love having this recipe for those moments when baking feels overwhelming but you still want something homemade. It's perfect for busy mornings, unexpected guests, or when you need to quickly rescue those spotty bananas on your counter. The results are consistently good, even when baking skills aren't.
