Ingredients for 100 Yummy Banana Bread

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • Egg
  • Butter
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Vanilla
  • Nuts

How to Make 100 Yummy Banana Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until completely smooth and pasty.
  3. Add ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, and mix until combined.
  4. Add ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  8. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  9. 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.
  10. 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!
