For this recipe we&#8217;ll be using:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Unsalted Butter:&nbsp;<\/strong>Some banana bread recipes use oil, but I find that butter works best in this recipe. It also provides more flavor&nbsp;than using just oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:&nbsp;<\/strong>I use a mix of brown sugar and granulated sugar in this recipe. The brown sugar adds extra moisture to the banana bread as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs &amp; Vanilla Extract:&nbsp;<\/strong>You&#8217;ll be using a couple of eggs to bind everything together and some pure vanilla extract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mashed Bananas:&nbsp;<\/strong>There&#8217;s two cups of mashed bananas in this recipe for maximum banana flavor. The mashed bananas also help to keep this banana bread incredibly moist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-Purpose Flour:&nbsp;<\/strong>This provides the structure for the banana bread. Just be sure to spoon and level your flour when you&#8217;re measuring it so you don&#8217;t end up with too much.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking Soda &amp; Baking Powder:&nbsp;<\/strong>There&#8217;s a combination of baking soda and baking powder in this banana bread to give it the perfect amount of lift.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cinnamon &amp; Salt:&nbsp;<\/strong>The cinnamon is optional here, but it adds a beautiful flavor to the the banana bread. The salt helps to balance out the sweetness too.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Walnuts:&nbsp;<\/strong>As always, the chopped walnuts are completely optional. I love adding some to this recipe, but feel free to leave them out!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 500px;

Here&#8217;s a quick breakdown on exactly how to prepare the batter:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Cream the butter and sugars together:<\/strong> It&#8217;s best to beat the butter and sugars together for 4-5 minutes or until the mixture is light in color and fluffy. This will help incorporate more air into your batter which creates a lighter banana bread.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract:<\/strong> It&#8217;s best to mix in your eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla. I also like to scrape down the bowl at this point and give it another good mix.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix in the mashed banana:<\/strong> I prefer to add the mashed banana along with the rest of the other ingredients instead of at the end to ensure that I don&#8217;t over mix the batter.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whisk together the dry ingredients:<\/strong> Whisking the dry ingredients separately helps to ensure that everything, especially the baking soda and baking powder, are evenly distributed into the batter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients:<\/strong> You only want to mix the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Over mixing the batter can lead to a super dense loaf of bread.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fold in the chopped walnuts:&nbsp;<\/strong>If you&#8217;re omitting the walnuts, simply skip this step!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20767 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Banana-Bread-9.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A loaf pan lined with parchment paper holding batter ready to be put into the oven.\" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" data-pin-description=\"This Classic Banana Bread is perfectly sweet, moist, and full of flavor!

The parchment paper is completely optional, but it will make it much easier to remove the bread from the pan.<\/p>\n<p>Then, scoop the batter into the prepared pan and place it in the oven for about one hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. I like to let my bread cool in the pan once it&#8217;s done for about 20 minutes, then remove it from the pan to cool completely on a wire rack.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20766 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Banana-Bread-8.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A slice of banana bread cut off the loaf and laying down to show the crust and interior texture of the bread.\" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" data-pin-description=\"This Classic Banana Bread is perfectly sweet, moist, and full of flavor!

If your bananas are still green or just yellow, then I suggest waiting a little longer.<\/p>\n<p>If you need to speed up the process and ripen your bananas quicker, simply place them in a brown paper bag for 1-3 days. The ethylene gas will build up in the bag and circulate around the bananas, speeding up the ripening process.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you store this bread?<\/h3>\n<p>You can store this banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. While it&#8217;s not necessary to store banana bread in the refrigerator, it will help it stay fresh a little longer. If you need to store it a couple days longer then I suggest storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze&nbsp;it?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, absolutely! <strong>To freeze the the loaf:<\/strong> Wrap the loaf tightly with plastic wrap and store it in a freezer bag or container in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you&#8217;re ready to enjoy it, place it on the counter for several hours or overnight so that it can come to room temperature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>To freeze individual slices:<\/strong> Slice the bread and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then place the baking sheet in the freezer for a couple of hours or until the slices are frozen. Place the frozen slices in a freezer bag or container and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can thaw individual slices to room temperature or reheat frozen slices in the microwave for 20-30 seconds at a time or until warmed through.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20764 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Banana-Bread-6.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A stack of banana bread slices on top of an antique cooling rack.\" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" data-pin-description=\"This Classic Banana Bread is perfectly sweet, moist, and full of flavor!

Instead, stir the flour around, spoon it into your measuring cup, and level it off with the back of a knife.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">You can use your electric mixer to mash your bananas before getting started with this recipe. Just make sure to wipe the mixer and bowl clean before you cream your butter and sugar together.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">You&#8217;ll need two cups of mashed bananas for this recipe,
