Whenever we buy bananas and they start to go brown, I make this recipe. Or I peel and freeze them to make it in the future!
One of my go-to and most made recipes that is always a crowd pleaser. It’s so easy and quick to throw together and I always have the ingredients on hand. And it’s so easy to change it up to whatever you are craving, add walnuts, chocolate chips, or both!
This recipe make two loaves, so you can always freeze one and thaw later. My personal favorite way to eat it, is to pop it into the toaster to warm it up and put butter on it, so yummy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed bananas (about two regular sized bananas)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable/canola oil (you could also use 1/2 cup or 1 stick of butter instead)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup of milk (minus 1 tablespoon, explained in directions)
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- one teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup walnuts or chocolate chips (1/4 cup of each if you are making both)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°
- Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to a 1 cup measuring cup, then fill with milk and let sit while you add other ingredients to the bowl, it should sit for at least 5 minutes
- Mix all of your ingredients except the nuts/chocolate chips together with a hand mixer, if you don’t have one you can use a whisk
- Stir in your walnuts or chocolate chips and stir in gently (if you are doing both differently, just stir them in when they are poured into their pans)
- Grease two loaf pans and pour mixture into both pans evenly
- Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean
Notes
- This recipe makes two loaves
- Mash bananas up well with a fork before mixing, if there are chunks of banana in your loaf, no worries!
