Banana Bread is the ultimate go-to when there are leftover ripe bananas on the counter. It’s something of a constant battle in our home, leftover overripe bananas that nobody wants to eat.
But they are PERFECT for banana bread. So perhaps it continues to happen when we just keep making banana bread out of it. So here you have it, our go-to banana bread recipe that can be made as bread or into muffins. Your choice.

Making this recipe into Gluten Free Banana Bread?
Yes it’s actually extremely easy to do. All you have to do is grease a bread pan, pour the batter into the pan and increase your baking time.
If you are making in the traditional bread pan you’ll want to bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
There are a few reasons I like making banana muffins instead.
- No slicing required and already pre-portioned for snacking.
- Banana Bread Muffins transport easier.
These Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies are fantastic to transport too… 😉 Cookies and Banana Bread Muffins… thats all we need in our lives, am I right?
Freezing bananas for future banana bread muffins
While I do try to make banana bread ASAP with ripe bananas I sometimes just can’t get around to it and need to freeze them instead. Did you know that you can freeze bananas that are going too ripe for future banana bread?
Here is how you want to do it.
- Peel the bananas.
- Freeze separated either into servings for the recipe or if you are freezing a ton freeze them on a baking sheet to avoid freezing together.
You want to be able to easily separate them after freezing because once they de-thaw they will be very soft and impossible to not make a mess with.

Delicious! These muffins turned out great. They were super easy to make and my girls gobbles them up. I did use cup4cup flour and I had 4 ripe bananas that needed to be used. I will make these again. Thanks for the recipe.
