Boozy Banana Bread

Boozy banana bread is banana bread at its best. Lots of bananas and a hint of almond and almond liqueur make it delicious — I love this recipe, especially served with butter.

Ingredients

cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
5 very ripe bananas, mashed
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 eggs
3 drops almond extract
3 drops amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a loaf pan with cooking spray.
Whisk flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.
Combine bananas, brown sugar, butter, eggs, almond extract, and amaretto in a separate bowl; stir in flour mixture just until incorporated, about 1 minute. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool before serving, about 30 minutes.
