Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 80 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 50 grams Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0 as needed (for greasing jars) Cooking spray or melted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Thoroughly clean and dry six 8-ounce (240 ml) wide-mouth mason jars. Lightly grease the insides of the jars with cooking spray or melted butter.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared jars, filling each jar about halfway to allow room for the bread to rise.

Step 8

Place the jars on a baking sheet and transfer them to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Carefully remove the jars from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, serve the banana bread directly from the jars or seal them with lids for storage. The bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
