Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, for added moisture)
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash them thoroughly with a fork until smooth and free of large chunks.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly. Add the butter to the mashed bananas and mix until combined.

Step 4

Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Whisk together until the ingredients are well incorporated and the batter appears smooth.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

If using milk, nuts, or chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage. The milk will add a touch of extra moisture, while the nuts and chocolate chips give additional texture and flavor.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Forevermama's Banana Bread with coffee, tea, or as a standalone treat!
