How to Make Banana Bread From Betty Crocker

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
  3. Add 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened; 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 2 large eggs; and 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans (or a combination!). If adding more bananas, start with an extra banana and add more as needed to reach desired consistency.
  5. Gradually add 1/4 - 1/2 cup milk (depending on banana quantity and desired batter consistency). The batter should resemble muffin batter – slightly thick but pourable.
  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 cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
