Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cups milk
• 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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.

Step 3

Melt the butter and add it to the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Mix in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Stir in the milk to create a smooth batter. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
