Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butterscotch chips
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 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

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

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.

Step 7

Fold in the butterscotch chips and chopped pecans (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 11

Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
