Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup sugar
- 0.5 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup nuts, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom of a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together with an electric mixer or by hand until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
If using nuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Slice and serve, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
