How to Make Banana Bread Blast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- Mash 3 ripe bananas and add them to the butter mixture along with ½ cup milk and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Mix well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add the remaining 1 cup of flour and mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared loaf pans.
- Let the batter rise for 15 minutes.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around the 50-minute mark.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
