A warm and comforting dish that evokes nostalgia for many, this easy banana bread recipe is perfect for those who prefer a nut-free version, ensuring a moist banana bread without nuts that everyone can enjoy.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
3 ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter and stir until combined.
Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract into the banana mixture until well combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; this will help achieve a moist banana bread without nuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
