Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 1 medium apple
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Peel the bananas and mash them well in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Core and peel the apple, then dice it into small chunks. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
To the mashed bananas, add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or fork to combine until smooth and creamy.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the diced apple and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Optionally, serve warm with a pat of butter or spread of your choice.
