Banana bread

Made with ripe bananas and simple ingredients, Banana Bread is a comforting classic that’s perfect for breakfast, snacks, or any time of day. Fluffy, moist, and full of flavor!

Ingredients:

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 cup (80 ml) melted butter

3/4 cup (150 g) sugar (you can use less if you prefer it less sweet)

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 pinch salt

1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour

Optional:

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped walnuts, chopped chocolate, or chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or line with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas with melted butter.

Add the sugar, egg and vanilla. Mix well.

Add the baking soda, salt and flour. Mix until incorporated, without over-beating.

If desired, add cinnamon, nuts or chocolate to the batter.

Pour into the pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

Extra tip:

The riper (almost black) the bananas are, the sweeter and more aromatic the bread will be.

Delicious plain, with butter or with coffee!
