Certainly! Here's a simple banana bread recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 2 to 3 ripe bananas
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) (optional)
Instructions:
350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) should be set for the oven. A 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan should be greased.
Mash the bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato
masher until smooth. Your banana bread will taste sweeter as the bananas get riper.
Cream the butter and sugar: In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add vanilla and eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure they are all thoroughly combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and optional ground cinnamon and nutmeg.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; just stir until the ingredients are incorporated.
Add nuts (optional): If you're using nuts, fold them into the batter at this point.
Pour into the loaf pan: Pour the banana bread batter into the greased loaf pan.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve: Once the banana bread has cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy your homemade banana bread!
