Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 75 grams chopped walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
Step 3
Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Step 4
Add the granulated sugar, the egg, and the vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix until uniform.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 7
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center 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.
