# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 cups all-purpose flour
02 -
1 teaspoon baking soda
03 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
04 -
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
05 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
06 -
2 large eggs, beaten
07 -
2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan to ensure easy release after baking.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly blended.
03 -
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the brown sugar and softened butter until smooth and creamy.
04 -
Add the beaten eggs and mashed overripe bananas to the butter mixture. Mix until fully combined and uniform.
05 -
Gradually fold the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir gently just until all flour is incorporated; avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb.
06 -
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for approximately 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.
07 -
Remove bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully turn out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For best results, use bananas with a heavily speckled or black peel to maximize sweetness and moisture.
