Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 cup walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy release.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly before adding it to the bananas. Mix well.

Step 4

Stir the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the banana mixture until fully combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Stir in the milk to loosen the batter and add in the optional walnuts or chocolate chips if desired.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve Banana Bread Blast warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
