  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda (reduce by 1/4 tsp for high altitude)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. In the bowl with the mashed bananas, add the softened butter and sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Add cinnamon.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda (slightly reduced for high altitude), and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk or buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle the top with chopped walnuts or pecans.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the altitude banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Reduce Baking Soda: Decrease the amount of baking soda by about 25% to prevent excessive rising and collapsing.
  • Increase Liquid: Add an extra tablespoon or two of liquid (milk, buttermilk, or water) to compensate for faster evaporation.
  • Lower Oven Temperature: Reduce the oven temperature by 25°F (15°C) to help the bread bake more evenly.
  • Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to a tough bread. Mix until just combined.
  • Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the more flavorful and moist your bread will be.
