Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 cup walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy release.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly before adding it to the bananas. Mix well.
Stir the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the banana mixture until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the milk to loosen the batter and add in the optional walnuts or chocolate chips if desired.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve Banana Bread Blast warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
