Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 6 mini loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Add the milk to the batter and gently fold it in until the mixture is smooth and consistent.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini loaf pans, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Place the mini loaves in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the loaves from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the mini banana loaves warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
