Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
- 0.25 cups rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons demerara sugar (for topping)
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 ripe bananas in a medium-sized bowl until mostly smooth. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and whisk until smooth.
Stir in the mashed bananas until evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and rolled oats for added crunch.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the demerara sugar over the top of the batter for a crunchy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
