Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 85 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
• 60 milliliters Milk

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 until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then pour it over the mashed bananas. Stir until combined.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk until well mixed and smooth.

Step 5

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender banana bread.

Step 7

Pour in the milk, and stir lightly to incorporate. The batter should be thick but pourable.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy the banana bread on its own or with a spread of butter or honey!
