Banana Bread Recipe (Using 2 Bananas)
This quick and easy banana bread recipe uses just two ripe bananas for a moist, flavorful loaf. Perfect for breakfast or a snack!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
- 1/4 cup melted butter or oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk (or buttermilk)
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
- Add sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well.
- In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently. If desired, fold in nuts or any other add-ins.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread rest for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- For a healthier version, try substituting sugar with stevia or maple syrup and using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- You can also add chocolate chips or dried fruits for added flavor.
