How to Make Best Banana Bread Or Muffins
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly. Add the sugar, eggs, and oil; mix well.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the nuts and/or chocolate chips (if using).
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan or muffin tin.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes for a loaf, or 18-20 minutes for muffins, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
