Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

If using optional mix-ins like walnuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
