Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 very ripe large bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or substitute with 1 3/4 cups almond flour for a low-carb option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until mostly smooth.
  3. Stir the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract into the mashed bananas until combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. If using nuts, stir them into the dry ingredients now.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a low-carb version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour and add 1/4 cup of coconut flour for structure. You may need to add one extra egg for moisture if using almond flour.
  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the best natural sweetness.
  • If you want a richer flavor, add 1/2 cup of unsweetened chocolate chips as an optional mix-in.
