Banana Bread Sticks

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth.

3. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Transfer the banana bread batter to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in long stick shapes, about 4 inches long and 1 inch wide. Leave some space between each stick.

7. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or chocolate chips on top of the banana bread sticks.

8. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sticks are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Once baked, remove the banana bread sticks from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.

10. Store any leftover banana bread sticks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
