Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time and stir in vanilla extract.
  • Mash the ripe bananas in a separate bowl until mostly smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the mashed bananas until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor. Avoid overmixing for a light texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
