- If desired, fold in walnuts or chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
7. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few crumbs. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil and continue baking.
8. Cool and Serve:
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the better! Overripe bananas with lots of brown spots are ideal for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- Storage: Store banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Variations: You can add cinnamon, nutmeg, or a pinch of allspice for extra flavor. You can also substitute half of the butter with vegetable oil for a slightly lighter texture.
This Moist Banana Bread is soft, tender, and full of banana flavor. It’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. Enjoy it warm with a pat of butter or on its own!
