Banana Bread Simple Recipe 2 Bananas

Ingredients

Making this Banana Bread recipe only requires a few ingredients. You will need 2 ripe bananas, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/3 cup of melted butter or coconut oil, 2/3 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 large egg.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter or coconut oil. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, egg and vanilla extract until smooth. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until everything is mixed together. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Baking Tips

To make sure your banana bread is perfectly moist and flavorful, use very ripe bananas for this recipe. The riper the bananas, the better the flavor. If you don’t have ripe bananas, you can place them on a baking sheet and bake them in a 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven for 15 minutes. This will help the bananas ripen quickly and make them easier to mash.

Storing and Freezing

To store, place the banana bread in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it at room temperature for up to 4 days. To freeze, wrap the banana bread tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. The banana bread will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months.
