Craving Banana Bread? This Recipe Can Be Made in Under 4 Minutes in the Microwave

By Chanel Vargas

The banana bread craze is real, you guys, and I know I'm not the only one who's been baking up a storm. If ever I'm in the mood for a foolproof and delicious banana bread, I know Chrissy Teigen has my back. And when I'm not in the mood to preheat the oven and mash up exactly six ripe bananas by hand, a single-serve microwavable banana bread recipe will always do the trick.

This recipe shared by TikTok user kaylaiutzwig — one of the many people living their best banana bread lives — only calls for a few simple ingredients and is ready in just four minutes. You can even add chocolate and play around with the spices to better suit your tastes. I, for one, will be sprinkling a generous hand full of chocolate chips on top when I make this. As someone who consistently gets a craving for sweets and is also impatient when it comes to getting those sweets, I can confirm this is worth making every night of the week. Try the full recipe out for yourself ahead.
