Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas – The riper the better! Overripe bananas add sweetness and moisture, making your banana bread with 2 bananas irresistibly soft and flavorful.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour – The base of the bread giving it structure and texture.
- 1/2 cup sugar – Adjust the sweetness to your preference but this amount will give your banana bread recipe with two bananas a nice, balanced sweetness.
- 1/4 cup butter – Melted for extra moisture and richness in flavor.
- 1 large egg – It helps bind everything together while adding a soft light texture.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract – For that warm aromatic flavor that enhances the bananas.
- 1 tsp baking soda – The leavening agent that helps the bread rise and become fluffy.
- 1/2 tsp salt – To balance the sweetness and enhance the overall flavor.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C) and let it warm up while you prepare your ingredients. This ensures your banana bread recipe with 2 bananas starts cooking immediately once the batter is ready.
- Mash the bananas: In a mixing bowl, peel your 2 ripe bananas and mash them with a fork or potato masher. Aim for a smooth consistency, but it’s okay if there are some chunks—it adds to the texture!
- Combine the dry ingredients: In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well blended. This step helps ensure the leavening agents are evenly distributed throughout your banana bread.
- Combine wet ingredients: In the bowl with your mashed bananas, add the melted butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix everything until smooth and well combined.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine. Make sure not to overmix, as it may cause the loaf to be too dense. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Transfer to loaf pan: Pour your banana bread batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Use a silicone spatula to smooth the batter evenly across the pan.
- Bake: Put the loaf pan in your preheated oven and let it bake for 55 to 65 minutes. Start checking after 55 minutes by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center. If it comes out clean or with only a few crumbs stuck to it, your banana bread is ready!
- Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the banana bread to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Next, move it to a wire rack to allow it to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
