Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Ripe bananas
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Butter, softened
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom of a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the sugar, softened butter, and eggs. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
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 banana 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.
Serve and enjoy your delicious homemade banana bread!
