Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in chopped walnuts or chocolate chips if desired.

Notes
- For extra moisture, avoid overmixing the batter.
- Add nuts or chocolate chips for enhanced flavor.
