Banana Bread

Step by step

• Preheat and Prep

  Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

• Combine Dry Ingredients

  In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
   

• Cream Butter and Sugar

  In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

• Add Eggs and Vanilla

  Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
   

• Prepare Powdered Milk Mixture

  In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered milk and water until smooth and dissolved.

• Combine Wet Ingredients

  Add the mashed bananas and the powdered milk mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix well.

• Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

• Bake the Batter

  Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

• Cool the Bread

  Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
