Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup (melted) 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
• 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Stir in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and milk.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread 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.
