Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, honey, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and fragrant, ensuring the honey is well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract. For added texture, fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use super ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Avoid overmixing to keep the bread fluffy.
- Optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips add texture and flavor.
