Why We Love Banana Bread

Banana bread is more than just a delicious snack; it’s filled with memories. From the smell of it baking in the oven to the joy of sharing slices with loved ones, each bite is packed with nostalgia. It’s perfect for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or even dessert. Plus, it’s easy to customize! You can add nuts, chocolate chips, or even dried fruit to make it your own.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Wet Ingredients:

• 4–5 ripe bananas, mashed (not blended!)

• 2 eggs

• ½ cup melted butter

• ½ cup milk

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

• ½ cup brown sugar (adjust to your preferred sweetness)

• ½ cup white sugar (adjust to your preferred sweetness)

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour

Step-by-Step Instructions

Making banana bread is simple and fun! Here’s how to do it:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In one bowl, mash your bananas and mix in all the wet ingredients.

3. In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

4. Combine wet and dry — gently. Don’t overmix!

5. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. (Oven times may vary, so keep an eye on it!)

6. Let it cool before slicing. This step is hard... but worth it 😉

   
   

Tips for the Best Banana Bread

• Make sure your bananas are very ripe; the more spots, the better!

• Don’t overmix the batter; mix until just combined for a light loaf.

• Experiment with flavors! Consider adding cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a swirl of peanut butter.
