Banana Bread

This week, Nina and I decided to bake a yummy snack instead of making dinner. I was in the mood for banana bread- plus I had quite a few ripe bananas laying around that needed to be eaten ASAP. We added walnuts and chocolate chips to this batch- you can certainly leave them out or add in different options like dried cranberries, zucchini, nuts, blueberries, etc.

The other great thing about this recipe- I literally had everything I needed already in my pantry. Guess what that means?! No grocery shopping/ordering needed woohoo!

Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 3-4 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• Optional: nuts, berries, chocolate chips, etc

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour loaf pan or spray with cooking spray
2. In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas with the melted butter, then add the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Stir well.
3. Sprinkle in baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
4. Add flour and optional add-ins (we did walnuts and chocolate chips). Stir until no streaks of flour remains. Pour the batter into the loaf pan.
5. Bake for 50-60 min, until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
6. Slice and serve!

I hope you guys enjoy! Pretty sure this entire loaf will be eaten by tomorrow…it’s THAT good. Love you all- stay safe and healthy 🙂
