Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 ⅓ cups mashed overripe bananas

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs: Beat the eggs into the butter and sugar mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Mix in Bananas: Stir in the mashed overripe bananas until thoroughly combined with the wet mixture.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the flour disappears. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  7. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool: Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure your bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • You can add nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
  • Store banana bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
  • To keep the bread moist, avoid overbaking.
  • This recipe can be doubled and baked in two loaf pans if desired.
