Banana Bread Recipe Without Baking Soda And Vanilla
If you're a fan of banana bread but don't have any baking soda or vanilla on hand, don't worry! There are still ways to make delicious banana bread without these ingredients.
Ingredients
For this recipe, you'll need:
- 3-4 ripe bananas
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch (23-centimeter) bread pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Mash your bananas in a large mixing bowl until they're relatively smooth.
- Add in the melted butter, sugar, and eggs, whisking together until you have a relatively smooth and consistent mixture.
