Easy banana bread recipe
3-4 ripe bananas mashed
* ⅓ cup butter melted
* ¾ cup granulated sugar
* 1 large egg beaten
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
* ⅛ teaspoon salt
* 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
* 1 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, plus extra for topping if desired
INSTRUCTIONS
* Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour an 8.5×4.5-inch loaf pan or spray with baking spray.
* In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas with the melted butter, then add the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Stir well with a large wooden spoon.
* Sprinkle the baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt over the banana mixture. Stir to combine.
* Add flour and walnuts or chocolate chips (if desired), and stir just until no streaks of flour remain. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
* Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Slice into 10 thick slices and serve.
