Why bake banana bread in an iron skillet?

First, an iron skillet evenly distributes heat. In turn, this will bake up your bread more evenly.

Second, it’s a shorter baking time. While a 9 inch loaf pan will take you anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour for banana bread, a 9 inch skillet only takes about 25-30 minutes for baking.

Hence, you are enjoying your fresh baked banana bread considerable quicker this way and that, is definitely a good thing. 👍

Ingredients List:

  • Butter
  • Egg
  • Vanilla
  • Coconut palm sugar
  • Bananas
  • Flour + Salt+ Baking soda
  • Dark chocolate chips

Butter: Be sure it’s softened!

Coconut Palm Sugar: If desired, this can be replaced with regular white sugar or brown sugar.

Bananas: I used 3 medium size bananas for ours. Depending on the size of your bananas, you will need about 1 cup of them mashed.

Flour: Feel free to use a combo of white and whole wheat flour, if desired. I wouldn’t recommend using all whole wheat, as it could turn out a bit denser than average.

Do I Have to Use an Iron Skillet? No. A 9-10 inch oven safe skillet will also work. See recipe card for the iron skillet I have and love.

  2. I recently got a skillet so was intrigued by this recipe. What a lovely idea, and it’s easily made vegan and gluten free too with a few swaps so my daughter and I can eat it.

    1. @Rebecca – Glutarama, what did you do to make it gluten free? I’m always afraid to convert recipes with lots of a.p. flour. Thanks!

  3. Congratulations! Your awesome post is featured on Full Plate Thursday, 520 this week. Thanks so much for sharing it with us and you have a great week!
