Directions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Bananas
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.
Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add Nuts
If using, fold in the chopped nuts into the batter.
Prepare the Baking Pan
Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Pour Batter
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Once baked, allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
