Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, and pour it into the mashed bananas. Mix well.
Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture, and whisk until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture using a spatula, taking care not to overmix. If using walnuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them in at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Enjoy as-is or with a smear of butter for extra indulgence.
