Mysty PfefferWhen you want to change up the easy no knead bread recipe yet keep it simple, add a banana and some cinnamon. Oh, and also add a cup of chopped walnuts.
It’s very filling and has a decent amount of protein to get us started on our day. There is no sugar and no oil either, so it’s just whole grain unbleached organic flour, yeast, salt, banana, cinnamon, walnuts, and water.
Benefits of No Knead Banana Bread
The benefit of adding banana to this bread is, of course, is the added fiber, magnesium, potassium, and B vitamins. I’m also fond of the cinnamon with its cinnamaldehyde component to ward off infections, help balance blood sugar, and provides a boost for the metabolism of those carbs in the bread.
Cinnamon is also rich in polyphenols and increases antioxidants in the blood which helps lower inflammation. I’ll take that prize spice with my bread any day! The walnuts add crunchiness, healthy omega 3 fat, more polyphenols, and vitamin E. They are beneficial for lowering inflammation, cardiac risk, and cholesterol.
Overall, the banana version of the Easy No Knead Bread is pretty healthy!

Easy No Knead Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 3 Cups Bread Flour Organic and Unbleached
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp yeast
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 banana mashed
- 1 1/2 Cups Water
Instructions
- Add the salt, cinnamon, and yeast to the flour and whisk well. Add the mashed banana and water and combine until all the flour is incorporated in the fluid.
- Cover with plastic and let it sit on the counter 6, 8, 10 or 12 hours. I usually go to bed or go to work and bake it when I get home.
- When it has doubled in size, preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Get two loaf pans ready or a Dutch oven. Line the loaf pan with parchment paper and dampen with water. Pour your dough into the loaf pan and gently smooth it out.
- Cover the top of the loaf pan with another loaf pan so it has room to rise. Bake at 450 for 30 minutes. Remove the top loaf pan and bake 15 more minutes.
- Remove from the oven and carefully pull it out of the loaf pan with the parchment paper. Let is cool completely before slicing. I store mine sliced in the freezer and get out 1 piece at a time to eat during the week. It warms well in the microwave 30 seconds.
