Ingredients

For the Bread:

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)

• 1/2 cup honey

• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 large egg, beaten

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• Pinch of salt

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

Optional Add Ins:

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.

3. Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Mix in the honey, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle the baking soda and a pinch of salt over the mixture. Gently fold in the flour, mixing just until combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.

5. Optional Add-Ins: If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.

6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.

7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your moist, honey vanilla banana bread!
