Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon milk (optional, if batter is too thick)
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash them thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 3

Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir until combined.

Step 4

Mix in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir well to create a smooth batter.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix to avoid dense bread.

Step 7

If the batter is too thick, stir in the optional milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a pourable consistency.

Step 8

Fold in the chopped walnuts and/or chocolate chips if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 9

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Enjoy Ba Nana's Bread on its own or with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence!
