Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Peel 3 overripe bananas and place them on the baking sheet. Place pan in oven and roast for 20 minutes, flipping the bananas over at the 10 minute mark. Remove from oven and allow bananas to cool.

Combine The Dry Ingredients:

Combine The Wet Ingredients:

  • Cream ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) butter along with 1 packed up of light or dark brown sugar.
  • Add 2 whisked eggs and 1 tsp. vanilla extract to the butter and sugar. Stir until combined.
  • Add the roasted bananas and mash them into the wet ingredients until combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

  • Add half of the wet ingredients to the dry and stir together. Add ¼ cup milk or non-dairy substitute to the bowl and stir together. Add the remainder of the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until completely combined.
  • Add 1 tsp. cinnamon and ½ cup chopped walnuts (or nut of choice) to the batter. Stir until just combined.
  • Spray a 9x5 inch bread pan with cooking spray and pour the batter into the pan spreading the top with a spatula so it bakes evenly.
  • Place the bread pan in the oven and bake for 70 minutes, rotating the pan in the oven once during the baking process. The bread is done when a toothpick poked in the center of the bread comes out clear.
  • Remove the pan from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

I recommend using a metal 9x5 inch bread pan when baking this banana bread. The metal tends to cook the bread more evenly and helps to ensure that the middle is not undercooked.
Baking times may vary. I recommend checking the bread at the 65 minute mark and baking in 5 minute increments until bread is done in the center.
I do not recommend using more than 3 bananas or the batter may become mushy.
Feel free to omit the walnuts if you have a nut allergy.
