  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash ripe bananas until smooth. Add honey, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. If desired, fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and aroma.
  • Adjust the honey amount to control sweetness.
  • Add a tablespoon of yogurt or applesauce for extra moisture.
  • Do not overmix after adding dry ingredients to keep the bread fluffy.
