Let’s get baking! 🎉

What You’ll Need

Banana Bread:

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ cup granulated sugar

Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:

Pro Tips

1. Use overripe bananas—the softer and sweeter, the better! 🍌
2. Coat the loaf pan in cinnamon sugar for an extra crunchy crust.
3. Don’t overmix the batter—stir just until combined for a fluffy loaf.
4. For extra flavor, swirl some cinnamon-sugar into the batter before baking.
5. Let it cool before slicing so the crust stays crisp!

Tools You’ll Need

Instructions

Step 1: Mash the Bananas

In a bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 4: Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
