Three things inspired this recipe. First, sometimes you want to make banana bread but you only have one ripe banana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or maybe I should say, sometimes you have a ripe banana and you want to do something with it (ideally, make banana bread). But is that one lonely banana enough all on its own? Spoiler: Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"2Second, sometimes you just want to bake something. Is it just me, or does everyone feel this way now and again (especially in the winter months)? Ideally, I want to bake something easy that will make my whole kitchen smell amazing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I’d prefer if the end result was NOT a dozen cookies or scones or whatever because I know myself well enough to know that this means I will likely eat a dozen cookies or scones over the following couple of days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want a little treat, sure, but mostly I just want to carry out the act of baking something and just get a little bite of something at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"mashedThird, and most literally, this recipe is inspired by Chrissy Teigen’s recipe from her cookbook<\/a> (which I love). But, I’ll be the first to admit that this is a much more simple version that results in a smaller serving amount in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s really very different, but I was still inspired by her recipe and I love her cookbook so much I wanted to mention it anyway. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"aIf you only have one banana, make this banana bread. If you LOVE banana bread (raises hand high) but don’t need a giant bundt cake size in your house due to a lack of self-control, make this banana bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some mini loaf pans<\/a> if you don’t have any! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
