Step-by-Step Instructions for Homemade Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash the very ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
  3. Mix in melted unsalted butter, then add sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  4. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; whisk well.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in optional mix-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
