Heavenly Banana Bread with a Twist

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, then lightly dust it with flour to keep the bread from sticking. In a big bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is nice and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully mixed in before adding the next. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring well after each addition. Next, fold in the mashed banana and vanilla extract, mixing just until everything is combined. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and pop it in the oven. Let it bake for about 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
