How to Make Aunt Muriel's Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth. Add eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat well until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve. Enjoy! This bread is also delicious as muffins – simply bake in a muffin tin for 20-25 minutes.
