How to Make Add Ins Bread

  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth. Add eggs and oil; mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in your choice of add-ins (see suggestions below).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Enjoy your delicious homemade banana bread!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
