Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth, then mix in the brown sugar and melted butter while still warm to help dissolve the sugar.

  3. 3

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract for an even batter.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture; avoid overmixing for tender crumb.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55–60 minutes, checking with a toothpick at 50 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, then slice thickly and serve with additional butter spread on top.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The key ingredient is ripe bananas, giving the classic banana bread its moist texture and sweet, fruity flavor. They are essential for both taste and the signature aroma.
Q. How should butter be used for best results?
Butter is melted and incorporated into the batter while still warm, helping dissolve sugar and improving crumb texture. Additional butter is spread on the warm slices just before serving for a rich, melt-in-the-crack finish.
Q. How can I prevent the banana bread from becoming dry?
Don’t overmix after adding the dry ingredients, and check doneness at the 50-minute mark with a toothpick. Overbaking dries out the loaf—once the toothpick comes out clean, remove from oven and cool for best moisture retention.
Q. What is the calorie and macronutrient breakdown per serving?
Each 80g slice provides about 330 kcal, with 45g carbs (54% of calories), 5g protein (6%), and 15g fat (40%). It's a high-calorie snack perfect for comfort or energy needs.
