Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 piece egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Peel the bananas and mash them thoroughly in a large mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir well to combine.
Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using chopped walnuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your Penzeys Banana Bread warm or at room temperature.
