Instructions

Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan lightly with butter or nonstick spray.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Sugar and Butter

In a large mixing bowl, beat the brown sugar and softened butter using an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.

4. Combine Wet Ingredients

Add the beaten eggs and mashed bananas to the butter mixture. Mix well until combined.

5. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.

6. Pour and Bake

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and Serve

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Storage: Wrap the cooled banana bread tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
Substitutions: Replace butter with vegetable oil or applesauce for a slightly different texture.
Add-Ins: Incorporate nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits for extra flavor and texture.
