Ingredients
- 3-4 ripe bananas
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
- Optional add-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or cinnamon (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
- Melt the Butter: In a separate bowl, melt the butter. Combine it with sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: Add the wet mixture to the mashed bananas and stir until combined.
- Add the Self-Rising Flour: Gradually fold in the self-rising flour, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
- Optional Add-ins: Fold in any optional ingredients like nuts or chocolate chips.
- Pour the Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Let it cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Banana Ripeness: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the bread will be. Overripe bananas are perfect!
- Mixing Tips: Avoid over-mixing the batter to ensure a soft and fluffy loaf.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
- Customizations: Feel free to add chocolate chips, walnuts, or cinnamon for extra flavor.
