Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 1 ½ cups All-purpose flour
- ¾ cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- ½ cup Butter (melted)
- ½ cup Buttermilk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher.
- Add the sugar, eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Storage: The banana bread can stay fresh for up to 3 days at room temperature. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Substitutions: You can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, though the bread will be denser. For a sweeter variation, try adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
- Tip: Let the banana bread cool before slicing to ensure the best texture.
