Banana and Honey Bread Recipe
A deliciously moist and naturally sweet banana bread made with ripe bananas and honey, offering a perfect balance of flavors. This easy-to-make recipe is great for breakfast or as a snack, and it's the perfect way to use up overripe bananas!
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, peel and mash the ripe bananas.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- Add the wet ingredients to the mashed bananas, including the eggs, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Banana Ripeness: The riper the bananas, the better. Overripe bananas will give the bread a richer flavor and natural sweetness.
- Storage: Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
