  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes - 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, honey, and melted butter. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days, refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
