Banana Bread Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by whisking eggs and sugar together until blended. Separately, dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt—are combined. Mashed ripe bananas, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil are added to the egg mixture to provide moisture and banana flavor. These wet ingredients are folded gently into the dry mix to avoid overworking the batter, preserving tenderness.
If desired, raisins are folded in to add bursts of dried fruit sweetness and chewiness. The batter is poured into a greased loaf pan, optionally topped with walnuts or other toppings, and baked at 350°F for about 50 minutes. Baking time is checked with the toothpick test to ensure the bread is fully cooked while remaining moist.
The resulting banana bread has a soft crumb with cinnamon aroma, making it suitable for breakfast, snacks, or dessert. It can be sliced and served plain or with butter.
