A delightful banana loaf recipe that is easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the loaf inside for even baking.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Use a fork or potato masher for quick and easy mashing.
Add the brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix well.
Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated for a smooth batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help prevent lumps in the batter.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined loaf pan.
Use a spatula to evenly spread the batter in the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at the 50-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Cooling the loaf completely ensures it slices cleanly.
Slice and serve your banana loaf as a delightful snack or dessert.
Pair with a cup of tea or coffee for a comforting treat.
