How To Make Banana Bread

Ingredients for Classic Banana Bread. - The Midwest Kitchen Blog

Preheat the oven to 350F, then in a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas. It will be a little lumpy, you just want to mash them as much as you can with a potato masher or a fork.

Then add all the wet ingredients to the mashed bananas – the eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. 

In the same bowl add the dry ingredients – all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined. Then fold in the chopped walnuts.

Grease a loaf pan with either vegetable oil or Homemade Ghee. Spread the batter evenly in the pan.
