Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3-4 very ripe medium bananas, mashed (about 1.5 cups)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
3. In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or spoon just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine. If using, fold in the walnuts or chocolate chips.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and firm to the touch.
7. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve!
