Here's a recipe for delicious banana bread:
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Optional Add-ins:
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
3. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.
4. Add the baking soda and salt to the mixture and stir well.
5. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Gradually add the flour to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a dense banana bread.
7. If using any optional add-ins such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or cinnamon, gently fold them into the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your freshly baked banana bread! It's perfect for breakfast, as a snack, or even as dessert.
