  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes - 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (8-10 slices)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Mash bananas until smooth in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Mix honey, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until combined. Add mashed bananas and stir well.
  4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, gently mixing until just combined. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread fluffy.
  • Optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips enhance texture and flavor.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
