Description
Moist Honey Vanilla Banana Bread is a delightful treat perfect for any time of day, packed with sweet flavors and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease and lightly flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, then whisk in the honey, melted butter, vanilla, and beaten egg until well combined.
3. Stir in the baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
4. If using, gently fold in chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Choose ripe bananas for better sweetness and moisture.
Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense texture.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
