Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 100 grams chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Whisk together until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the 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 before slicing and serving.
