- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup mixed nuts
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or line with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar:
- Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until creamy and smooth.
4. Add Eggs and Bananas:
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Do not over-mix to avoid a dense bread texture.
6. Fold in Goodies:
- Gently fold in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, walnuts, chocolate chips, raisins, and mixed nuts.
7. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful breakfast treat.
