  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas with the melted butter. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon if using.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if desired.
