Servings: 10
Calories: 269kcal
Equipment
- Hand mixer/stand mixer
- Mixing bowls
- Spatula
- Whisk
- 1lb metal loaf pan I like USA pans
Ingredients
- 2 Cups All-purpose flour
- 1 Teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- ½ Teaspoon Nutmeg
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Cup Unsalted butter softened
- ¾ Cup Brown sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 2-½ Cups Banana's mashed, frozen or over-ripe
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 1lb metal loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together. Once combined, add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Fold in mashed bananas.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Spoon the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared 1lb loaf pan. Spread out the batter evenly. Before baking sprinkle the top with brown sugar. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Let the loaf cool in the baking pan for about 30 minutes. Slice and enjoy.
Notes
- I love to butter each slice of bread with salted butter when it is still warm.
