Banana Bread Ingredients

• Flour: All-purpose flour gives the banana bread structure.
• Baking soda: Baking soda is a leavening agent that assists in the rising of banana bread.
• Salt: Adding a small amount of salt improves the taste of the bread without making it too salty.
• Butter: A stick of butter adds richness, moisture, and delicious flavor.
• Brown sugar: Brown sugar adds sweetness and a touch of warmth to dishes.
• Eggs: Eggs serve as a binder, keeping the batter intact.
• Bananas: You definitely need bananas! Select ripe bananas.

How to Make Banana Bread

Here’s a quick summary of what you can anticipate when you prepare this easy banana bread:

1. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Cream the butter and sugar in a separate bowl. Then, mix in the eggs and mashed bananas.
3. Combine the wet mixture with the dry mixture.
4. Transfer the batter into a loaf pan and bake it in a preheated oven.

How Long to Bake Banana Bread

This recipe for banana bread needs to be baked for approximately one hour in an oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees F. You will know it is ready when a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Remember to allow the bread to cool in the pan for around 10 minutes before removing it, or else it may break apart.

Tips

• I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract because I enjoy the taste of vanilla. The cake has a crispy outer layer and a moist center.
• Choose ripe bananas that are yellow with a few brown spots instead of green bananas.
