Instructions
Preheat and prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Pro tip: Parchment paper makes for easy removal of the bread.
Mix dry ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Combine wet ingredients
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the beaten eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Pro tip: Ensure bananas are thoroughly mashed for an even texture.
Combine mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pro tip: Overmixing can make the bread tough.
Fill the loaf pan
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the bread
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Pro tip: Check the bread at 50 minutes to prevent overbaking.
Cool before serving
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro tip: Cooling prevents the bread from becoming soggy.
Tips & Tricks
- Use ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best flavour and sweetness.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
- If you prefer a sweeter bread, add an extra tablespoon of sugar.
- For a nutty twist, add chopped walnuts or pecans.
