Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour For a denser texture, try substituting with whole wheat flour.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Acts as a leavening agent; always check its freshness for the best rise.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor; feel free to omit if you are on a low-sodium diet.
  • 1 egg Binds everything together and adds moisture; swap for a flax egg if you're going vegan.
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar Adds sweetness; reduce to 1 cup for a less sweet banana bread.
  • 0.5 cups vegetable or canola oil Keeps it moist; melted coconut oil is a great alternative.
  • 0.5 cups buttermilk or milk Contributes moisture and a touch of tang; Greek yogurt can also work as a thicker option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Boosts flavor; pure vanilla will give the best results.
  • 3 ripe bananas Key for sweetness and texture; use very ripe bananas for the best flavor.
Optional Add-ins
  • 0.5 cups chopped walnuts Adds a delightful crunch; these can be replaced with chocolate chips or omitted altogether.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F to create that beautiful golden crust.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, blend together the egg, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil.
  4. Gradually add your flour mix to the wet mixture, stirring gently until it comes together.
  5. Slowly fold in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and mashed ripe bananas.
  6. If using walnuts, gently fold them into the batter.
  7. Pour the banana bread batter into your greased loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-75 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
