Equipment
- Loaf Pan
- Large mixing bowl
- Stand Mixer
- Measuring cups
- Potato masher
- Rubber spatula
- Wire cooling rack
- Toothpick
Ingredients
- 3 large BANANAS
- 1 cup GRANULATED SUGAR
- 1/2 cup BUTTER
- 2 large EGGS
- 1 1/2 cups ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
- 1 tsp BAKING SODA
- 1 tsp SALT
- 1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
Instructions
Heat the Oven
- Turn your oven on to 350 degrees first. Grease your loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. This stops the bread from sticking to the sides.
Cream the Butter
- Put the soft butter and sugar in a bowl. Mix them until the texture is light and fluffy. This step adds air to the bread batter.
Add the Eggs
- Add your eggs into the butter mixture one by one. Beat them well after you add each single egg. The mixture should look very smooth now.
Mash the Bananas
- Peel your bananas and put them on a plate. Mash them with a fork until they are gooey. Stir the bananas and vanilla into the wet mix.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Slowly add this to the wet banana mixture. Stir just until you do not see white flour.
Bake the Bread
- Pour the thick batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for about sixty minutes until the top is brown. Let it cool before you try to slice it.
Notes
➜ Use bananas with lots of brown spots for sweetness.
➜ Do not overmix the batter or bread gets tough.
➜ Check the bread at fifty minutes to avoid burning.
➜ Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter mix.
➜ Wrap the bread in plastic to keep it moist.
➜ Add chopped walnuts if you like a little crunch.
