Certainly! Here's a delicious banana bread recipe that doesn't include nuts:
Ingredients:
- 2 to 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 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 cup plain yogurt or sour cream (optional, for moisture)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
- Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix well.
- Stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If using, fold in the plain yogurt or sour cream, which helps keep the bread moist.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 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 about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
This recipe yields a moist and flavorful banana bread without the addition of nuts. Feel free to customize it by adding chocolate chips, dried fruit, or other desired mix-ins if you prefer. Enjoy!
