@amber_recipes: BANANA BREAD Ingredients: 3 ripe bananas (mashed) 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted) 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor) 1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream (for extra moisture) Instructions: 1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. 2. Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. 3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well. Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. Mix in the yogurt or sour cream for added moisture. 4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. 5. Mix Batter: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Do not overmix; stir just until combined. 6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 7. Cool and Serve: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your moist banana bread! Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea. NOTE: 💛 Why No Baking Powder? This banana bread doesn’t need baking powder because it uses baking soda, which works perfectly with the natural acidity of ripe bananas, sour cream (or yogurt), and brown sugar. These ingredients activate the baking soda, giving the loaf a lovely rise, soft texture, and golden crust — no extra leavening needed! 🧁 Substituting self-rising flour isn’t recommended, as it contains baking powder and salt, which would change the texture and flavor. For best results, stick with all-purpose flour and baking soda just as written. 💛
