How to Make Old Fashioned Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs + 2 large egg whites, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon almond extract until well combined.
- Mash 3 ripe bananas well with a fork. Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
