Ingredients
Scale
main ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) salt
Instructions
- Turn your oven on to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan so the bread doesn’t stick.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a different large bowl, beat the brown sugar and butter with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Put the eggs and mashed bananas into the sugar and butter mix. Stir until everything is mixed well.
- Slowly add the banana mixture to the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined, don’t overmix.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Put the pan in the oven and bake for around 60 minutes. It’s ready when a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean.
- Let the bread sit in the pan for 10 minutes. Then take it out and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for more sweetness.
- Don’t overmix the batter.
- Add nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
