Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan. Your future self will thank you when the bread comes out cleanly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk mashed bananas, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and sugar until smooth.
  • Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Don’t over-mix; we’re aiming for tender, not tough.
  • Fold in optional cinnamon, chips, or nuts if you’re feeling fancy. This is where you personalize the loaf.
  • Pour batter into the pan and bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. If the top is browning too fast, tent with foil after 30 minutes.
  • Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling. Slice when cooled enough to handle—which is sooner than you think.
