Equipment
- Baking pan
- bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup of finely sifted all-purpose flour ensuring a velvety and tender texture
- 1 egg lovingly beaten until light and frothy
- 1/4 cup of your choice of perfectly chopped nuts whether it's crunchy almonds, buttery pecans, or delightful walnuts, adding a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the batter
- 1/2 cup of fine granulated sugar adding just the right amount of sweetness to the batter
- 1.5 perfectly ripe bananas meticulously mashed to a smooth and creamy consistency
- 1/2 teaspoon of exquisite sea salt harvested from pristine waters to enhance the overall taste
- 1/2 teaspoon of premium baking soda carefully measured for optimal leavening and a fluffy texture
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until they form a smooth paste. Add eggs and mix until blended.
- Add the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and nuts to the banana mixture. Stir until everything is fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it and transferring it to a wire rack.
Notes
- For a healthier version, replace the sugar with honey or maple syrup.
- If you like your banana bread extra sweet, add some chocolate chips or raisins to the batter.
- If you want a more dense texture, try adding 1/2 cup of melted butter to the batter before baking.
- For an even more moist and flavorful bread, add 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt or sour cream to the batter.
- If you don't have any nuts on hand, try adding some shredded coconut or chopped dried fruit to the batter.
- For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle a few tablespoons of cinnamon sugar over the top before baking.
- To make sure your banana bread is perfectly cooked, check it with a toothpick after 45 minutes. If the toothpick comes out clean, then your banana bread is done.
