Description
A moist and flavorful Jamaican-style banana bread infused with warm spices and a hint of vanilla. Perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack.
Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground allspice.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
