Servings: 12 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, melted 1 stick
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray (or grease with shortening or butter) and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine and mash together the melted butter and bananas. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and continue to mash and combine the ingredients until everything is well combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir just until smooth.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Cool loaf in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Try adding 1/2 to 1 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips to the bread batter before baking.
- Prefer muffins? You can use a standard-size muffin tin and bake them for about 25 minutes. Again, use a toothpick to check for doneness.
