How to Make Mini Banana Loaves
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your mini loaf pans.
- In a medium bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar and beat until well combined.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork and add them to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Fill the prepared mini loaf pans about ¾ full.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Check at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- Let the mini loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
