- 2 cups all-purpose flour

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
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Step 3
Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
Step 4
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
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 ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 7
If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Step 9
Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
