Ingredients
• 3 ripe bananas (≈1½ cups mashed)
• ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ½ cup honey (wildflower or local preferred)
• 2 eggs, room temp
• ¼ cup milk (any kind)
• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract or paste
• 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• Optional: ¾ cup toasted walnuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment.
-
Mash bananas in a large bowl. Stir in melted butter, honey, eggs, milk, and vanilla.
-
Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gently fold dry into wet until just combined.
-
Add optional mix-ins, fold gently, then pour into pan. Tap pan to release bubbles.
-
Bake 50–60 mins. Toothpick should come out clean. Tent with foil if browning too fast.
-
Cool in pan 10 mins, then lift onto wire rack. Cool at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
• Slight banana chunks = moist, textured crumb
• Don’t overmix! Fold just until flour disappears
• Want café vibes? Toast a slice and drizzle with honey or almond butter
