How to Make Maggie's Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, mash 2 cups ripe bananas (or substitute with 2 cups of your chosen ingredient – zucchini, pumpkin puree, etc.).
- In a third bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, depending on your chosen ingredient).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the mashed bananas (or substitute), beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in any desired add-ins: chocolate chips, walnuts, spices, etc. (optional).
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious homemade bread!
