Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 1 medium apple
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Peel and mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Peel, core, and finely dice the apple, then set it aside.
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, 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, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced apple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the bread 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.
