Chrissy Teigen’s Banana Bundt Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 4 bananas, well-mashed)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 10-cup Bundt pan thoroughly with butter or cooking spray.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
4. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
6. Add the mashed ripe bananas to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined.
8. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and chocolate chips.
9. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 55-65 minutes.
10. Once baked, remove the Bundt pan from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
