Irresistible Honey Vanilla Banana Bread is a delicious twist on the classic banana bread recipe, with the added sweetness of honey and a subtle vanilla flavor. This moist, fluffy bread is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert. The natural sweetness from ripe bananas and honey makes this loaf comforting and satisfying without being overly sugary. It's easy to make and guaranteed to be a hit with anyone who loves homemade baked goods!
Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
1/4 cup milk (or buttermilk for added richness)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, honey, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread light and fluffy.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
