Classic Banana Bread Recipe

1. Preheat your oven to 350^oF. 
2. In a bowl, add flour, baking powder, sugar, and cinnamon. Add a pinch of salt to the bowl. Stir it well until all the ingredients are mixed well.
3. Peel the bananas and put them in a bowl. Ripened bananas are easy to smash into a puree. Mash the bananas using a fork or a mixer until smooth.
4. Add eggs into the banana puree. Use a mixer at a low speed to blend everything.
5. Add vanilla extract to this mixture. Also, add softened butter to the mashed bananas and eggs. Use a mixer to blend everything.
6. Combine your wet and dry ingredients into one bowl. For that, slowly add dry ingredients to your wet ones. Use a mixer at a slow speed to blend them in. Add dry ingredients one spoon at a time. The classic banana bread dough is ready.
7. At this point, you may add other ingredients if you want something extra in your bread. Add nuts, raisins, or other flavors, if you desire. Now, mix the dough only with a spatula or whisk. Otherwise, a mixer may break added nuts.
8. Grease the baking pan thoroughly with some butter, vegetable oil, or olive oil. You may also use cooking spray. Slowly pour the mixture into the pan.
9. You may decorate the bread with extra bananas on top. For the decoration, use harder bananas cut in long strips or circles.
10. Bake it at 350° for about 50 minutes.
11. If the bread has formed a long crack in the middle, it’s a sign that your bread is almost ready. 
12. Take it out of the oven once the crack is formed and the bread has a nice brown crust on top. 
13. After taking it out of the oven, leave the bread in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes.
14. Then, take the bread out of the pan and leave it to cool for another 10 minutes.
15. Serve it warm with a hot beverage.
