This banana bread with spices is very moist and has a little kick. This recipe is loved by my family and all who have tried it.
2 cups flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 very ripe bananas
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x3-inch loaf pans.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside.
Mash bananas, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves together in a large bowl with a fork until well combined. Stir in melted butter and vanilla, then fold in flour mixture until a batter forms and no dry lumps remain. Pour into the prepared loaf pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan, and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
