Ingrédients
Method
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C); then grease and line a loaf pan (9×5 in / 22×12 cm).
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients: Next, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Fold gently into the wet mixture — do not overmix.
- Bake: Meanwhile, pour the batter into the loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Finally, let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a rack. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
