Banana Bread. Follow this simple method to recreate a beloved classic at home.
Ingrédients
- 3 large ripe bananas (the riper, the better)
- ½ cup (125 g) melted butter or oil
- ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar (or ½ cup honey for a healthier option)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) cake flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth (a few small chunks are fine).
- Stir in the melted butter and mix until combined.
- Add the sugar (or honey) and eggs, whisking until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
