A soft and moist banana bread with a golden crust and rich banana flavor, perfect for breakfast or a comforting snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and allow it to fully heat.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, then mix in melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Add all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined without overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the bread soft and tender.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
