Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla, whisking until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, including nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and moisture.
- Do not overmix; gentle folding helps keep the bread tender.
- Incorporating a tablespoon of sour cream or yogurt adds extra moistness.
- Store in an airtight container or wrap tightly with plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 3 days, refrigerate up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
