Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup 115g butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup 150g sugar (adjust based on preference)
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups 190g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven & Prepare the Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Mash the Bananas & Mix Wet Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Add Dry Ingredients

  • Sift in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold everything together using a spatula—don’t overmix! If adding nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.

Bake the Banana Bread

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool & Serve

  • Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
