Moist Banana Bread Recipe - Easy & Delicious

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Use an oven thermometer for accuracy.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.

    Make sure the butter is not too hot.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

    Sift the flour to avoid lumps.
  4. Mix Together

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the bread moist.
  5. Add Mix-ins

    Fold in chopped walnuts and chocolate chips if desired.

    Reserve some for topping if you like.
  6. Prepare Pan

    Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.

    This helps prevent sticking.
  7. Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-65 minutes.

    Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Slice when fully cooled for cleaner slices.
