instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the bread bakes evenly.

    2

    In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. You should have about 1.5 cups of banana puree.

    3

    In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, which should take about 3 minutes.

    4

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

    5

    Stir in the vanilla extract and the mashed banana, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated.

    6

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

    7

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

    8

    If desired, fold in the nuts for an extra crunch.

    9

    Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

    10

    Bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    11

    Once baked, let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

How to be creative
  • Add chocolate chips for a delightful surprise in every bite.
  • Incorporate a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, spiced flavor.
  • Top the bread with a honey glaze for an extra sweet finish.
Important Tips
  • Ensure your bananas are ripe; the browner they are, the sweeter your bread will be.
  • Use unsalted butter to better control the saltiness in your bread.
  • Don’t worry if it’s a bit undercooked; it will continue to firm up as it cools.
