Part 5/8:
Incorporating the Eggs and Flavorings
You’ll need two large eggs for this recipe, which should be added to the mixer one at a time to allow for proper incorporation. A teaspoon of vanilla extract adds aromatic flavor, and Kanell encourages you to personalize your banana bread by adding spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg.
Once the batter is well combined, check on the bananas. After baking, they should be soft and gooey—perfect for mashing. Use a knife or fork to mash the bananas down until they reach a pudding-like consistency.
