🧂 Ingredients

3 large Ripe bananas, mashed
1 ½ cups Granulated sugar
½ cup Unsalted butter, melted
2 Eggs, beaten
2 cups All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking soda
½ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 cup Chopped walnuts

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a loaf pan with butter or
cooking spray.
2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and sugar. Mix well until the
sugar is dissolved.
3 Add the melted butter and beaten eggs to the banana mixture. Stir until well
combined.
4 In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
5 Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and gently fold until just
combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can result in a dense bread.
6 Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped walnuts. The walnuts add a delightful
crunch and nutty flavor to the bread.
7 Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8 Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into
the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary, so keep an eye on the
bread after the 50-minute mark.
9 Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for
10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing
and serving.
