How to Make Banana Bran Breakfast Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas. Add softened butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in bran cereal and nuts (if using).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
