A few months ago we bought ourselves a Weber Baby Q. We have already used it lots when we have been away travelling. We have cooked some awesome roasts in it as well as using it for grilling things like steak and sausages. We’ve even cooked meatballs in it!
But I have really wanted to see what else I can cook successfully in it. The Weber is what we will mainly use for cooking when we hit the road as we have chosen not to put an oven in our caravan.
I had a couple of brown, soft bananas sitting around on the kitchen bench so I thought I would give Banana Bread a go. It’s one of our favourites and also uses up the soft bananas so they are not going to waste.
And guess what? It turned out perfectly!
Here’s the recipe for you to try. You can DOWNLOAD it as well as watch how it all came together on You Tube.
GETTING THE TEMP RIGHT IN THE WEBER BABY Q
We pre-heated the Weber for 10 minutes prior to putting the Banana Bread in. We then turned the temperature gauge down to the lowest setting. We know the Weber can get pretty hot and I didn’t want the bottom of the bread to burn before the rest cooked.
BANANA BREAD RECIPE
1 ¾ cups Self Raising Flour
¼ cup Plain Flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅔ cup brown sugar
½ cup milk
2 eggs
50 grams butter, melted and cooled
2-3 very ripe bananas, mashed
- Pre-heat your Weber BBQ on high for 10 minutes.
- Line a 21cm loaf tin with baking paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Combine flours, cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl.
- Add the milk, mashed bananas, eggs and butter to flour mixture and stir until combined.
- Pour mixture into the loaf pan.
- Turn Weber down to the lowest point it will go to.
- Place loaf tin on a trivett with a heat diffusing tray underneath.
- Cook for 50 minutes or until a skewer stuck in the centre of the loaf comes away clean.
- Serve warm, plain or with a lick of butter. Enjoy!

Yum! Thanks for the recipe, we made this banana bread in our Webber Q on the weekend and it was delicious. I didn’t have brown sugar so used about 1 tbsp maple syrup instead.
The maple syrup would have given it a lovely flavour. Might have to try that myself.
Thanks for the recipe- I’ve cooked this a few times now and have been complimented each time (which is good considering I hate and don’t eat bananas)!
So glad you’ve enjoyed it Rhonda. Stay tuned for heaps more recipes when we hit the road permanently in a few weeks time.
Yum! We tried a packed cake which turned out pretty good. Now I know it works I will experiment a bit more with our Weber Q
Yes I’m keen to experiment a bit more too. We’ve done a few roasts in it and they are so yummy!
