Ingredients Needed
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Step-by-Step Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter and mix well. Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently. Fold in the chopped walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the banana bread and serve warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a steaming cup of coffee latte. For an extra touch, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
