Banana Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 4 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/4 cup milk (whole, 2%, or even almond milk)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Cream the butter and sugar:
   • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the wet ingredients:
   • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
   • Mix in the mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine the dry ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
5. Combine wet and dry ingredients:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
   • Fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
6. Bake the banana bread:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
   • If the top of the bread is browning too quickly, you can tent it with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.
7. Cool and serve:
   • Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
   • Slice and serve. Enjoy your homemade banana bread!

This banana bread can be stored at room temperature for a few days, or you can refrigerate it for up to a week. It’s also great toasted with a bit of butter!
