This easy banana bread recipe is perfect for a quick and delicious breakfast or snack. It's made with simple ingredients and is ready in just an hour.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mash together the bananas, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
- For a fun twist, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter.
- To make ahead, prepare the batter up to step 4 and let it sit at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, remove the pan from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
- Banana bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Conclusion:
This easy banana bread recipe is a great way to use up ripe bananas. It's moist, flavorful, and perfect for a quick and delicious breakfast or snack.
