Ingredients

• 3 pcs ripe bananas
• 113 g unsalted butter
• 150 g granulated sugar
• 2 pcs large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 250 g all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 60 ml milk
• 100 g optional chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter, allowing it to cool slightly before pouring it into the mashed bananas. Mix well.

Step 4

Add granulated sugar to the banana mixture and stir until combined.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 8

Stir in the milk to loosen the batter and, if desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade 'Daughter's Banana Bread'!
