How to Make Aunt Muriel's Banana Bread

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