🍌 Step-by-Step Method
1️⃣ Prepare the Bananas
Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a large bowl.
Mash them with a fork until smooth and creamy.
2️⃣ Mix the Wet Ingredients
Add eggs, brown sugar, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas.
Whisk until everything is well combined.
3️⃣ Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, combine:
Plain flour
Baking soda
Baking powder
Salt
Cinnamon (optional)
Mix well so the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4️⃣ Combine the Batter
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture.
Fold gently using a spatula or spoon until just combined.
Do not overmix, or the bread may become dense.
5️⃣ Add Extra Ingredients
Fold in chopped walnuts or chocolate chips if using.
6️⃣ Prepare the Baking Tin
Grease a loaf tin with butter or oil.
You can also line it with baking paper for easier removal.
7️⃣ Pour the Batter
Pour the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf tin.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
8️⃣ Bake
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
Bake for 50–60 minutes.
Check doneness by inserting a skewer or toothpick into the center.
If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
9️⃣ Cool Down
Remove the loaf from the oven.
Let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
🔟 Serve
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
