Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cups Coca Cola
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional)
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the Coca Cola and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
In another bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this step.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Ensure everything is well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the mashed banana and Coca Cola mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 55 to 65 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.
Slice and enjoy your Coca Cola Banana Bread as-is, or with a spread of butter or cream cheese!
