Calories: 364kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 overripe bananas mashed
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter at room temp
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- Optional: chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mash bananas in a bowl and set aside.
- Mix flour, baking soda, salt in a bowl and set aside.
- Cream butter and brown sugar until completely mixed together.
- To the creamed butter mixture add the eggs, mashed bananas, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Blend completely.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients a little at a time. Blend thoroughly but don’t over mix. Scrape down the sides of mixing bowl if using a stand mixer so there are no lumps of flour left.
- Pour into a well-greased loaf pan.
- Bake on the lowest rack in your oven for 55-60 minutes. When it’s done you should be able to insert a toothpick and it will come out clean. If the top is getting too burnt and the inside is not done, cover it with aluminum foil and bake another five minutes.
- Let cool before cutting with a serrated bread knife. Makes 1 loaf.
