BASIC BANANA BREAD
BASIC B… anana bread.
It’s always good to start with the basics. Especially when it’s a super-moist, with just the right amount of sweetness, and a little hint of vanilla that’ll make your kitchen smell incredible kind of basic. This is one of those recipes you’ll want to make over and over again—because, honestly, what’s better than a warm slice of banana bread? All you need is a bowl, some ripe bananas, and about an hour. Let’s bake up something beautiful that’ll have everyone reaching for seconds!

Instructions
TO MAKE YOUR BANANA BREAD
- Preheat your oven to 350°.
- In your mixing bowl, use the back of your fork to mash down your bananas.
- Mix in sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Mix until even.
- Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix them in fully.
- Grease your loaf pan with your baking spray.
- Pour your batter into your loaf pan.
- Bake until you can stick a toothpick into the center of the loaf and only crumbs (no uncooked batter) come out on it—about 1 hour.
- Careful not to burn yourself, transfer your loaf to your cooling rack. I placed the rack on top of the banana bread in the loaf pan, held it tightly, flipped it, and then used my hands to flip the loaf right-side-up again.
- Let cool to room temperature before cutting. This isn’t a firm rule but your banana bread will cut better this way. Enjoy!
