What goes in
✳Tap as you measure. A little less to keep in your head.
Let’s make it
one step at a time- 01
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment.
- 02
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Stir in the melted butter, then add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla and mix until combined.
- 03
In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and optional cinnamon.
- 04
Fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture just until no dry streaks remain; do not overmix. Fold in the optional nuts.
- 05
Pour into the loaf pan and bake for 55–65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- 06
Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then remove and cool fully on a rack.
That’s a good thing made.
Enjoy every bite.
