Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease 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 smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted unsalted butter to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Continue mixing until smooth.

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 mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Stir in the milk and fold in the chopped walnuts to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and evenly spread it with a spatula.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, spread with butter or cream cheese for extra indulgence. Enjoy!
