Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended)
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
-
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher. The riper, the better!
-
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Once melted, let it cool slightly.
-
To the mashed bananas, add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and lightly beaten eggs. Mix well until the mixture is smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want a tender crumb.
-
Fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips if you’re feeling a bit decadent. This adds a delightful crunch or gooeyness to your banana bread.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even rise.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma will be your timer; your kitchen will smell heavenly!
-
Once baked, cool the banana bread in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice, serve, and enjoy! Whether with a dollop of whipped cream, a spread of butter, or simply on its own, this banana bread is pure bliss.
Pro Tips:
- Use overripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor.
- Experiment with mix-ins like walnuts, pecans, or dark chocolate chunks for a personalized touch.
- If the top of your banana bread is browning too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
So, get ready to create a symphony of flavors with this ultimate moist banana bread recipe. Your taste buds and kitchen will thank you for this delightful experience! ๐ถ๐๐
