Ingredients:

  • 5 cups (350g) very ripe, mashed bananas
  • 5 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 5 cup (100g) sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 75 cups (210g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 25 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper with an overhang.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth, retaining some texture.
  3. Whisk the melted butter into the mashed bananas. Then, whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, and the optional sugar substitute until just combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until uniformly mixed.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold them together just until no streaks of dry flour remain. Do not overmix.
  6. If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and optionally top with banana slices lengthwise.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully lifting it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
