Kernza and banana bread are a perfect match. Every standout quality of Kernza flour shines here, and the recipe itself couldn't be simpler — no stand mixer, no fussy butter temperatures. Just mix, pour, and bake.

An easy, one-bowl banana bread where Kernza flour's nutty warmth perfectly complements ripe bananas and brown sugar.Author: Joe Kaplan
Ingredients
-
2 Cups (200g, 7.0oz.) Kernza Flour
- They should be very spotty with possibly some bruises.
- ½ Cup (110g, 3.9oz) brown sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
- We used 2% Milkfat, Fage brand yogurt
- ½ Stick (56.5g, 2.0oz, 4 Tbsp.) unsalted butter
- 1 Egg (roughly 50g, 1.75oz.)
- 2 Tsp (11g, 0.4oz.) coarse salt
- 1 Tsp (5.5g, 0.2oz.) baking soda
- ½ Tsp (3g, 0.1oz.) vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
- Melt ½ stick of butter on stove top or in the microwave
- In a small bowl, add peeled bananas and “smash” with a fork or potato masher
- Once they turn “gloopy” and have developed a sheen, you’re done.
- Grease the inside with butter, oil, or Pam.
- Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit inside and cover the three long sides of the pan and extend above the top of the pan (this provides parchment “handles” that will allow you to remove the baked loaf from the pan easily).
- Spray again with Pam, or add another coating of oil/butter
- If you do not want to use parchment, sprinkle a light coat of all purpose flour over the entire inside of the pan after it has been greased.

This banana bread is moist and flavorful. It was a little salty for my taste so I will reduce the salt to 1 t. You can also make this bread into muffins. Recipes makes about 12, reduce baking time to 15-20 minutes.
