Banana Bread Recipe with Condensed Milk
A delightful twist on a classic banana bread, this recipe incorporates sweetened condensed milk for a rich, moist, and flavorful loaf that will become a family favorite.
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized ripe bananas
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup melted butter
- Optional ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- Optional ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Incorporate the wet ingredients: Add the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients in another bowl: all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine both mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to smooth the surface. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or chocolate chips on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
