Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  • Add eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, mixing until well combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring just until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar for the topping, then sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: Slice and warm in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or toast for a crisp treat.
  • Add-ins: Mix in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for extra texture.
  • Substitutions: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version or plant-based butter and flax eggs for a vegan option.
