A classic recipe for banana bread that yields a moist and tender crumb, with just the right amount of sweetness. Perfect for using up ripe bananas and enjoying as a snack or dessert!
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until they're smooth and creamy, then set them aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the mashed banana and vanilla extract (if using), until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
If using walnuts, fold them into the batter with a rubber spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
