Banana Bread

Print Recipe

A moist, tender loaf filled with the natural sweetness of ripe bananas. Perfect for breakfast, snacking, or dessert, this banana bread is simple, comforting, and endlessly customizable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar. Add eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  4. Fold in optional mix-ins if using. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
  • Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze slices for later.
