#banana nut bread

All right, the people have spoken. Here’s my banana bread recipe! These are in American measurements so if you use metric you’ll have to convert it.

Allergy info: Contains wheat/gluten, eggs, dairy.

2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

3-5 very ripe bananas (for Max Banana Flavor, use 5 big ones, and they need to have lots of brown spots on them, or even be mostly brown) <obligatory KRIS GET THE BANANA goes here>

½ cup butter, melted

½ tsp salt (you can skip this if you’re using salted butter, or just leave it out altogether if you have issues with sodium, the salt isn’t that big a deal in this recipe)

1 tsp baking soda

½ cup chopped nuts if desired

Anything else you want like chocolate chips, raisins, ground flax seed(gives a nutty flavor without nuts!), cinnamon, whatever lol

Preheat oven up 350 F.

Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Sift the dry ingredients together.

Mash the bananas. They don’t have to be super smooth. Add to dry ingredients.

Beat the eggs for a minute or two, until they’re frothy. Add to mixture.

Add butter and mix well, but don’t overmix.

Stir in nuts or whatever else you want if desired.

Pour into loaf pan.

Bake for 50 minutes. Test with a toothpick or knife for doneness. If it’s not done, cover with foil and bake for an additional 15-25 minutes.

When it’s done, let it cool in the pan for a few minutes, then take it out and put it on a wire rack or a plate if you don’t have one. Have a slice while it’s hot. Put some butter on it if you want to. Trust me it’s amazing.

Enjoy your banana bread!
