Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas, as they will be sweeter and have a more intense flavor.
  • Mash the bananas well. This will help to create a smooth and even batter.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender bread.
  • Gradually beat in the eggs one at a time. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Add the mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and salt to the batter and mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this will result in a tough bread.
  • Fold in the sifted flour. Do not overmix, as this will also result in a tough bread.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Banana bread is a classic recipe that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist and flavorful crumb, it is the perfect treat for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
