Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Mash the Bananas
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Mixing
Combine Wet Ingredients
To the mashed bananas, add granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Add Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Incorporate Optional Ingredients
If desired, fold in chopped walnuts or pecans and/or chocolate chips into the batter.
Baking
Pour and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool Down
Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
