How to Make We Re Going Bananas Bread
- Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add them to the batter along with 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Stir in 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan(s) and spread evenly.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
