Ingredients:
3 very ripe medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/4 cups) 🍌
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened 🧈
3/4 cup granulated sugar 🍬
2 large eggs, at room temperature 🥚
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
1 teaspoon baking soda 🥄
1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
1/2 cup raisins 🍇
1 cup walnuts, toasted, cooled, and coarsely chopped 🌰
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍦
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter and lightly dust with flour. Tap out any excess flour.
Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth and pudding-like.
Cream Butter and Sugar: Add the softened butter and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Incorporate Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Add Extras: Fold in the raisins, toasted walnuts, and vanilla extract with a spatula.
Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and lightly smooth the top.
Bake: Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool Down: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and Serve: Slice and serve your delicious banana bread. Enjoy!
