How to Make 100 Yummy Banana Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until completely smooth and pasty.
- Add ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, and mix until combined.
- Add ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm with melted butter.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
