Ingredients
- Dry Ingredients:
220 g 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Wet Ingredients:
2 2 eggs
150 g 3/4 cup granulated sugar
120 ml 1/2 cup vegetable oil
60 ml 1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Banana Mixture:
3 3 ripe bananas
- Add-ins:
60 g 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Equipment
9×5-inch loaf pan- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Wire cooling rack
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until well combined. Slowly add the vegetable oil and whisk until smooth. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
- Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread tough.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts if using. This adds a delightful crunch and enhances the banana flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle the brown sugar on top for a caramelized finish.
- Bake the banana bread in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Look for bananas with brown spots!
Can I substitute oil with butter in this recipe?
Yes, you can replace vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer taste. Use the same amount of melted butter.
