Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) 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 using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; stir just until no streaks of flour remain.

Step 7

If adding chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

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