Banana Bread Loaf Recipe Moist
Ingredients
For this recipe you will need 3 ripe bananas, 1/3 cup of melted butter, 1 cup of sugar, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour and ½ cup of chopped nuts.
Instructions
To begin, preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or butter. In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork and set aside. In a separate large bowl, mix together the melted butter and sugar. Then, add the egg and mix until combined. Add the mashed banana, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Stir until everything is well combined. Now, gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients and mix until everything is just combined. Fold in the chopped nuts and pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake the banana bread loaf in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once the banana bread is finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the baking pan for 10 minutes. You can then transfer it to a cooling rack and let it cool down completely before slicing.
