Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Loaf Pan
  • Oven
  • Spatula
  • Cooling Rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven and grease a loaf pan evenly.
  2. Mix mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  4. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture gently until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool before slicing for best texture and structure.

Notes

For softer texture, avoid overmixing batter. For a crisp edge, bake slightly longer. Freeze slices for longer storage and easy reheating. Add nuts or chocolate for variation. Store wrapped at room temperature or refrigerate up to three days for freshness.
