Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Ripe bananas
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently 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, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
