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:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper with an overhang.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth, retaining some texture.
- Whisk the melted butter into the mashed bananas. Then, whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, and the optional sugar substitute until just combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until uniformly mixed.
- 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.
- If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and optionally top with banana slices lengthwise.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully lifting it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
