Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe bananas (mashed)
- 180 grams granulated sugar
- 115 grams unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
- 100 grams raisins or chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. You can use a fork or potato masher.
Add the granulated sugar and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using raisins or chopped walnuts, fold them into the batter gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your homemade Guatemalan Pan De Banano with a cup of coffee or tea!
