Creating Banana Bread with Brown Sugar can be effortless if you follow these simple steps:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
- Mix Sugars and Butter: Stir in the melted butter into the mashed bananas until well combined.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Include Vanilla: Add the vanilla extract and stir until evenly mixed.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, then fold in the flour gently until just combined.
- Optional Add-ins: If desired, gently fold in chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
- Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool Down: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
By following these simple steps, you will have a warm and inviting loaf of Banana Bread with Brown Sugar that is sure to impress.
