Ingredients
- 3 Ripe Bananas
- 125 g Salted Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 cup White Sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until mostly smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients. Melt the butter and add it to the mashed bananas along with the vanilla extract, eggs, and white & brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients. Add the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon to the same bowl. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for 60–75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the banana bread in the pan for about 10–15 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Slice and serve! Enjoy your classic banana bread warm or at room temperature with butter, or simply on its own. 🍌🍞
Tip: Baking time can vary depending on your oven and the size of your loaf pan. Start checking around the 60-minute mark.
