  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: One 9x5 inch loaf (about 8 slices)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture

Instructions

  1. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk in eggs one at a time until well incorporated. Add mashed bananas and mix thoroughly.
  3. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine. Do not overmix to keep the bread fluffy.
  4. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Optional: sprinkle nuts or chocolate chips on top for added flavor and texture.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly before removing from the pan.

Notes

  • For added flavor, fold in nuts or chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread fluffy and light.
  • This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or refrigerated for up to 1 week.
