3 ripe bananas, mashed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/3 cup (80 ml) melted butter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/2 cup (100 g) sugar (can be reduced for less sweetness)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 large egg, beaten<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon baking soda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 1\/2 cups (180 g) all-purpose flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/2 cup  chopped nuts (cashews, peanuts, or your favourite nuts)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional Add-ins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/4 cup chocolate chips<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/4 cup dried fruit\/ grated coconut (raisins or cranberries)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combine with Sugar and Egg: Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Baking Soda and Salt: Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir to combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Flour and Nuts: Gradually add the flour, and mix till you have a good consistency. Fold in the chopped nuts (and any optional add-ins if using).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake: Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the bread comes out clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cool: Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve: Slice and enjoy your nutty banana bread!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For extra flavour, toast the nuts lightly before adding them to the batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer, you can use whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bread freezes well. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container or bag for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy your homemade nutty banana bread!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
