  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes - 1 hour 25 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (about 10 slices)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ¾ cup honey
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Optional: chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, honey, and melted butter. Whisk until well blended. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
  5. Bake for approximately 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread fluffy.
  • For extra flavor, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Reheat slices in the Ninja Air Fryer Pro for quick freshness.
