Indulge in the rich, moist goodness of this banana bread that transforms overripe bananas into a warm hug for your soul!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the bread bakes evenly.
In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. You should have about 1.5 cups of banana puree.
In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, which should take about 3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the mashed banana, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
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.
If desired, fold in the nuts for an extra crunch.
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
