Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 75 grams chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Add the granulated sugar, the egg, and the vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix until uniform.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
