Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe mashed bananas
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Add the softened butter and sugar to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined and no streaks of butter remain.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Mash the ripe bananas and add them to the batter along with the milk. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and moisture.
  • You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
  • This bread is best stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
