Wet Ingredients
  • 2/3 cup butter Use overripe bananas for extra sweetness.
  • 2 2/3 cups white sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups mashed banana (about 4-5 ripe bananas) Make sure they are overripe.
  • 2/3 cup water
Dry Ingredients
  • 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour Can be substituted with whole wheat or gluten-free flour.
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cloves (optional)
Add-ins

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Grease a dozen 250 ml canning jars to ensure easy removal after baking.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the mashed bananas, eggs, and water until well combined.
  5. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and optional ground cloves. Mix this dry combination into the banana mixture.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a canning funnel, carefully pour the batter into the greased jars, filling them halfway.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Once baked, add the lids to the jars while they are still hot and listen for the ping sound signaling a proper seal.

Notes

Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place or the refrigerator to extend shelf life. They can last about a week. Reheat as needed.
