About

Banana Brat is a locally owned, NYC-based bakery offering small-batch banana bread made with overripe bananas, including gluten-free options, shipped nationwide from New York City.  

It started with three overripe bananas teetering on the edge of compost glory, a few sketchy internet recipes, and some wildly unscientific tinkering in a New York City kitchen.

The result? Delicious small-batch banana bread. Friends tasted it, requested it, and when someone offered to pay, what began as homework procrastination turned into a snark-infused side hustle. Banana Brat was born — a locally owned, NYC-based banana bread bakery built on experimentation, nostalgia, and a little chaos.

But Banana Brat isn’t just a disobedient carb delivery system. It’s a love letter to second chances. The bananas that look like they’ve seen better days — bruised, overripe, and underestimated — are exactly the ones destined for greatness. Bruises aren’t defects; they’re flavor boosters.

Banana Brat exists to rescue the fruit society side-eyes and turn it into the star. Using overripe bananas, bold flavors, and unapologetic creativity, we bake gourmet banana bread in small batches, with gluten-free options available, and ship nationwide from New York City.
