Ingredients
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
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start by mashing the ripe bananas until smooth.
- In a bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the bread machine pan. Sprinkle chopped nuts or chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Set the bread machine to the quick bread or cake setting, or select a basic cycle. The process typically takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Once baking is complete, carefully remove the loaf, let it cool slightly on a wire rack, then slice and serve warm or store for later.
Notes
- For added flavor, fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips before baking.
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- Ensure your bread machine setting matches the ‘quick bread’ or ‘cake’ option for best results.
