Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ¼ cup brewed coffee (strong)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
  3. In another bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Optionally, top with chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.
