Banana Bread

This banana bread is so easy and SO delicious! It has a soft and fluffy texture, and it's banana flavor is right on point. You can add nuts, dried fruit, or fresh blueberries to this, and it would be amazing! My kids go crazy over this bread.

Ingredients:

• 1 stick of softened unsalted butter

• 3/4 cup sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

• 4 very ripe bananas, slightly mashed (if my bananas are REALLY big, I just use 3)

• 2 cups all purpose flour

• 1 tsp. salt

• 1 tsp. baking powder

• 1 tsp. baking soda

• 1/4 cup whole milk

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper.

2. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and the sugar for a couple of minutes.

3. Add in the eggs and vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl so it gets incorporated evenly. Cream it together for another minute or so until it is fluffy.

4. Add in the bananas and continue to mix for about 30 seconds.

5. In a separate bowl, briefly mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add that mixture to the wet ingredients.

6. While mixing on slow speed, add in the the milk.

7. Pour your batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for about an hour or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of your bread comes our clean with no wet batter.
