Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the honey, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a large spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
