Description
A comforting, moist banana bread recipe that’s perfect for snacks, breakfast, or dessert, bringing warmth and nostalgia into every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan so your bread doesn’t stick.
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until everything is combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once done, let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For variations, consider adding nuts, chocolate chips, or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Store bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for 2-3 months.
