Ingredients:

- 1 cup plums, pitted and diced
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix well until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced plums to the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
This Plum Banana Bread is perfect when enjoyed fresh out of the oven, or you can store it in an airtight container for a few days. Its wonderful aroma and taste make it a charming addition to your breakfast table or afternoon tea. Enjoy your baking!
