What You Need

• 1 cup 3 ripe bananas, mashed – Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor.
• 1 stick 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened – Can substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
• 1 cup 1 cup granulated sugar – You can use brown sugar for a richer taste.
• 2 2 large eggs – Make sure they’re at room temperature.
• 1 tsp 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Pure vanilla extract is best.
• 180 g 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour – Sifted for a lighter texture.

Time to Cook

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 50 minutes | Total: 1 hour 5 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: Yes, you can prepare the batter a day in advance.

Steps to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 350 °F. This is a crucial step to ensure your banana bread bakes evenly. You want it nice and warm before the batter goes in.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. The more ripe, the better! You should have about 1 cup of mashed bananas that are creamy and fragrant.
3. Add the softened butter to the bananas and mix until well combined. The mixture should be a bit fluffy and light in color. This will give your bread a lovely texture.
4. Stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is combined. The batter should be smooth and glossy, which means you’re on the right track.
5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agent. You want your banana bread to rise beautifully.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. The batter should be thick and a little lumpy.
7. If you’re using nuts, fold them in gently. They add a lovely crunch and flavor to the bread. You should see little bits of nuts peeking through the batter.
8. Pour the batter into a greased Bundt pan, making sure it’s evenly distributed. Smooth the top with a spatula. It should look nice and even.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and slightly springy to the touch.
10. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack. This helps it hold its shape and cools it down nicely.

Make It Perfect

• Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
• Don’t skip the cooling step; it helps the bread set.
• You can add chocolate chips for a fun twist.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Mix It Up

• Try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon for a warm spice flavor.
• Substitute half the flour with whole wheat for a healthier option.
• Mix in some dried fruit like raisins or cranberries for added texture.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
• Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
• Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
