Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when your batter is mixed.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth with some small chunks remaining for texture.
Mix the mashed bananas with the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the bread.
Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, then pour the batter in evenly. Sprinkle nuts or chocolate chips over the top if using.
Bake the banana bread for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
