Description
Easy Moist Banana Bread is a beloved quick bread that combines ripe bananas, melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt to create a moist and flavorful loaf.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth, then stir in the melted butter.
3. Add the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, blending until well combined.
4. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, then gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Choose ripe, speckled bananas for the best flavor.
Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense texture.
Experiment with add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips for variations.
