Ingredients:

  • Bananas: 1 cup (300 g) ripe bananas, mashed
  • Sugar: 1/2 cup (100 g)
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Butter: 1/4 cup (65 g), melted
  • Eggs: 2 medium
  • Milk: 1/3 cup (95 g)
  • All-purpose Flour: 1+3/4 cups (230 g)
  • Baking Powder: 2 teaspoons (10 g)
  • Walnuts: 3/4 cup (100 g), chopped
  • Lemon Juice: To mix with the bananas (optional, not listed in the initial ingredients)
  • Vanilla Extract: As per taste (optional, not listed in the initial ingredients)
  • Buttermilk: As a substitute for milk and lemon juice (optional, not listed in the initial ingredients)

Equipment:

  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 2 Medium bowls
  • Baking pan
  • Mixer (stand or hand)
  • Wire rack (for cooling)
  • Toothpick (for testing doneness)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While waiting for the oven to reach the right temperature, grease your baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.

2. Prepare the Bananas:

  • In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas. For added flavor and to prevent browning, mix the mashed bananas with a little lemon juice. Set this mixture aside for later.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients:

  • In another medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures these ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter, resulting in a consistent texture in your banana bread.

4. Cream Butter and Sugar:

  • In the large mixing bowl, cream together the melted butter and sugar. You can do this with a mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process incorporates air into the butter, making your bread lighter.

5. Add Eggs and Vanilla:

  • Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they’re fully incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract if you’re using it. Vanilla adds a nice depth of flavor to the bread.

6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

  • Gradually add the previously mixed dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk (or buttermilk if you’re using it instead of milk and lemon juice). Begin and end with the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.

7. Fold in the Mashed Bananas and Walnuts:

  • Gently fold in the mashed bananas and chopped walnuts into the batter. Folding, rather than stirring vigorously, helps maintain the light, airy structure you’ve worked to create.

8. Bake:

  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

9. Cool:

  • Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. This cooling step is crucial as it lets the bread set and develop flavors.

Enjoy your homemade banana bread as a delightful breakfast, a sweet snack, or even as a dessert!
