This classic Banana Bread recipe is subtly sweet and full of delicious flavor. It is very easy to prepare and the perfect way to use ripe bananas. Make it even tastier by adding walnuts, chocolate chips, or fresh blueberries. 


Ingredients

2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 tsp
baking soda
1/2 tsp
salt
1/2 cup
butter, room temperature
1 cup
sugar
2
large eggs
1 cup
milk
1 tsp
vanilla extract
3
ripe bananas, mashed

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a loaf pan with butter. Set it aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set it aside.

In another bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract and mix. Add the mashed banana and mix. Add the flour mixture and beat just until smooth. Do not overmix.

Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow the banana bread to cool before removing it from the pan.

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
