Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a loaf pan. Mash bananas until smooth.
- Mix melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla into bananas until combined.
- Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt gently to keep batter soft.
- Pour batter into pan and smooth the top evenly.
- Bake until golden and set. Cool before slicing for best texture.
Notes
For softer bread, avoid overmixing. For a slightly crisp edge, bake a few extra minutes. Cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling. Add nuts or chocolate for variation. Store in an airtight container or freeze slices for longer storage.
