Banana Bread
Banana bread is one of those recipes that I always come back to. It's so simple to make but feels like a warm hug in the form of cake. The ripe bananas give it a natural sweetness, and it stays moist for days—if it lasts that long! I love adding a little bit of nuts for extra flavor and crunch, but you can also keep it plain and it will be just as good. This bread is perfect for breakfast with a cup of coffee, or even as a snack in the afternoon. It's like a little slice of comfort, and I hope you enjoy baking it as much as I do!

- 2 ripe bananas
- 1cup sugar

Preparation Steps
Hey there, chef! Let's make some magic with this recipe. For the best results, try to stick to the steps and ingredients list like glue. Think of it like a science experiment – weird substitutions might make things go *boom* (and not in the tasty way). 😉
Banana Bread
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Then, generously butter a 9×5 inch bread pan.
-
Using a fork, mash 2 ripe bananas until smooth.
-
Whisk the eggs and sugar together for 3 minutes until they're well blended and fluffy. Then, add the mashed bananas. After that, gradually pour in the oil and buttermilk, mixing until everything is well combined.
-
After everything is combined, add the flour, salt, and baking soda using a spatula. Make sure to mix it in gently until it's just incorporated. Finally, fold in 3/4 of the chopped walnuts. Pour the batter into the pan and sprinkle with the remaining walnuts. Bake at 350°F for 50-55 minutes.
Recipe Notes
If for any reason you don't have or can't use walnuts, you can leave them out.
