Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 115 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams cashews, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped cashews, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
