Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 cup optional mix-ins (chopped nuts, chocolate chips, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.

Step 3

Stir in the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Stir in the milk to ensure the batter is moist and smooth. If you're using optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
