Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup yogurt or sour cream (optional for moisture)
  • 1/2 cup nuts or chocolate chips (optional for mix-ins)

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Mixing spoon or spatula
  • Loaf pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Toothpick or skewer for testing doneness

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
  3. Mix in the melted butter and stir until combined.
  4. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture; stir well.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the baking soda, salt, and flour.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined; don’t overmix.
  7. If desired, fold in yogurt or sour cream for added moisture.
  8. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and texture. A splash of yogurt or sour cream can enhance moisture; melted coconut oil can also be swapped for butter. Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture. To make it vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based alternatives for butter and milk. Store leftover bread wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature or freeze for later enjoyment.
