Thus, this classic baked good is easy to make and a great way to use up overripe bananas. Finally, in this blog post, we’ll show you how to make moist and flavorful homemade banana bread. So let’s get baking!
Ingredients:
– 3 ripe bananas
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 Tsp. vanilla extract
– all-purpose flour 1 and 1/2 cups
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions to bake banana bread:
1. Preheat the oven and prepare the loaf pan:
– Grease a standard-sized loaf pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mash the bananas
Remove the peels from the bananas and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Then, to make the bananas smooth, mash them with a fork or potato masher.
3. Combine wet ingredients:
Put the mashed bananas in a mixing bowl and add the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients thoroughly
4. Add dry ingredients:
Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet mix until just incorporated. Overmixing might lead to a denser bread, so handle it with care.
5. Optional: Add nuts for extra crunch and flavor:
Thus, fold the chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter, if desired. This step is optional, but it adds a delightful texture to the banana bread.
6. Bake the banana bread:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Note: Baking times may vary, so keep an eye on the bread after about 45 minutes to prevent over-browning.
7. Cool and serve:
Once the banana bread is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Finally, Slice and serve the banana bread alone or enjoy it with a smear of butter or cream cheese.
