Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas

Method
 

 Preheat and Prepare
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Sugar and Butter
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the brown sugar and softened butter using an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients
  1. Add the beaten eggs and mashed bananas to the butter mixture. Mix well until combined.
5. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures
  1. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.
6. Pour and Bake
  1. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Serve
  1. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  2. 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.
