Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 120 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Stir in the melted butter until fully combined.
Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the bread dense.
Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans using a spatula.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
