A moist and forgiving banana bread recipe perfect for using overripe bananas. This quick bread is made in one bowl with pantry staples and can be customized with add-ins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Add the softened butter and sugar to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the mashed bananas and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. If using, fold in the walnuts or chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, you can substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • To make this gluten-free, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
  • Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
