Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (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.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar and melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well until combined.

Step 4

Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

If using walnuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 8

Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
