Banana Breadlets
Posted On 6 July 2025
Trying to use my mini loaf pans (loaflet?) more often. And get rid of some bananas that went from “fine” to “OH MY GOD” in like a day.
Mini Banana Breads
Equipment
- 2 Mini 3" x 5" loaf pans
- Stand mixer (just makes life easier)
Ingredients
- 57 grams unsalted butter, softened (¼ cup, half a stick)
- 100 grams granulated sugar (½ cup)
- 1 egg, room temperature
- ½ cup mashed banana (1 banana)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (oops)
- 90 grams all purpose flour (¾ cup)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips (optional…yeah…right)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Oil both loaflet pans.
- In a stand mixer on high, cream together the butter and sugar for 1-2 minutes.
- Reduce speed to medium and add the egg, mashed banana, and vanilla until incorporated.
- Mix together the flour, soda, and salt. Reduce the mixer to low and add a large spoonful of the flour mixture at a time just until incorporated.
- Remove the mixing bowl and scrape the sides with a spatula. If you're adding the chocolate chips — and we know you are — fold them in.
- Evenly distribute to the two loaflet pans. (Should be about 230 grams each, depending on your banana…which sounds way more suggestive than it is.)
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Cool in the pans for 15 minutes then remove from pans and let cool on wire rack.
Notes
I used mini chocolate chips but I suppose you could use the regular sized ones.
