Moist Banana Bread Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter

  (1 stick, softened at room temperature)
• 2 large eggs
• 3 bananas

  (overripe)
• 2 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  (or vanilla paste)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and butter your loaf pan on
  the bottom and all the way up the sides. I like to coat the inside of the
  buttered loaf pan with sugar, for a slightly crunchy crust, but this is
  completely optional.
• 2 In a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, cream the butter and
  sugar together. Add the banana and mash until it reaches small chunks. Add eggs
  and combine, then add the milk and vanilla and combine the banana mixture
  thoroughly.
• 3 Add dry ingredients: baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix all of
  the ingredients. Once combined, add the flour to the wet mixture, then mix just
  enough that the all-purpose flour is fully incorporated. The batter will be
  lumpy and fairly thick.
• 4 Transfer the batter to your buttered (and sugar-coated, if desired) loaf pan.
  Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about an hour, or until the topping is
  golden brown and an inserted knife comes out clean from the center of the loaf.
  Allow to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing from the loaf pan
  and transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Serve warm, if
  desired.
