Instructions
- Oven - Preheat your oven to 350°F /175°C Gas Mark 5 and grease your 9 x 4-inch loaf pan well with butter. You can also line it with parchment paper to easily remove the banana bread after baking.
- Dry ingredients - In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and, if using, the cinnamon and nutmeg.1½ cups All-purpose flour, 1 tsp Baking soda, ½ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Ground cinnamon , ¼ tsp Nutmeg freshly grated
- Wet ingredients - Combine the melted butter and brown sugar in a large bowl. Whisk them together until the mixture becomes smooth and the sugar mostly dissolves. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition to incorporate fully. Stir in the vanilla extract.½ cup Unsalted butter, ¾ cup Brown sugar, 2 large Eggs, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- Combine - Gradually add the dry and wet ingredients, stirring until combined. Then, add the mashed bananas to the mixture and stir until well combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can result in a denser bread.3 - 4 large Ripe bananas mashed , ½ cup Chopped nuts or chocolate chips
- Pan - Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake - Transfer to the oven on the middle rack and bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached or clean.
- Cool - Remove the pan from the oven and let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve - Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar. Slice the banana bread and enjoy! It's delicious on its own, or you can serve it with a spread of butter or a drizzle of honey.
