Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe bananas (medium-sized)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar (½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup brown sugar)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1. Preheat Your Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- 2. Mash Bananas
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth but slightly chunky. Set aside.
- 3. Cream Butter and Sugar
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about three minutes.
- 4. Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Beat in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract until well combined.
- 5. Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients along with the mashed bananas until just combined.
- 6. Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
