Ingredients
- 3 large over-ripe bananas, mashed (no big chunks left)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon banana extract (can substitute vanilla extract)
- 1 heaping teaspoon cinnamon (use more or less as desired)
- 1 3/4 cup self-rising flour
- 4-oz package dessert topping mixed nuts
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
Step 2: Liberally grease a loaf pan (I use a non-stick cooking spray).
-
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, butter, vanilla extract and banana extract and mix until all of the ingredients are fully combined.
-
Step 4: Add the brown sugar and eggs and mix well.
-
Step 5: Add the self-rising flour, cinnamon and nuts to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. You want all of the flour incorporated, but you don't want to overmix. It's okay if the batter is lumpy.
-
Step 6: Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for 60 minutes. (I always check mine at 50 minutes, then check with the toothpick to see if it comes out clean, then put it back in the over for 5 minutes, check again, and then go another 5 minutes until it's baked for 60 minutes. Every oven bakes differently.)
