Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 60 grams Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 60 grams Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl using a fork until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Let it cool slightly, then whisk it together with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold everything together using a spatula. Avoid overmixing.
Add the milk to the mixture and continue folding until just combined.
Fold in the mashed bananas until the batter is evenly combined. If using walnuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out 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 allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
