Why This Banana Bread Recipe Stands Out
Incredibly Moist: Achieved by the perfect balance of bananas, melted butter, and brown sugar.
Rich in Flavor: Overripe bananas provide natural sweetness, complemented by a touch of vanilla.
Effortless Baking: A one-bowl recipe that’s simple to make and clean up.

Ingredients Banana Bread
3 large overripe bananas (about 1 1/2 cups mashed)
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 + 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1/3 cup walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions Making the Banana Bread
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.

Mix Wet Ingredients: Add melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Whisk until fully combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

Fold Together: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix just until combined—don’t overmix.

Optional Add-ins: Stir in walnuts or chocolate chips, if desired.

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for the Best Banana Bread
Use overripe bananas with brown spots for maximum flavor and sweetness.
Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a tender crumb.
Check for doneness early to prevent overbaking.
