Ever since I was a little kid, banana bread has been a staple comfort food in our family. It’s the perfect recipe for those weekends when you find yourself with a bunch of overripe bananas and don’t want to let them go to waste.
- 1 cup sugar,
- 1/2 cup butter, softened,
- 2 large eggs,
- 4 ripe bananas, mashed,
- 1/4 cup milk,
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract,
- 2 cups all-purpose flour,
- 1 teaspoon baking powder,
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda,
- 1/4 teaspoon salt,
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional),
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract until well blended.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to banana mixture, stirring just until moistened. Fold in walnuts if using.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
